4. Funcionament

The Infiray Mini2 640 module is designed as a component for integration into larger systems. Its operation is typically controlled by the host platform it is connected to. The module provides raw thermal data or processed video streams via its digital and analog interfaces.

4.1 Image Adjustment Features

The module supports several image adjustment features, which can typically be controlled via the communication interface (e.g., UART, I2C) by the host system:

• Non-uniformity Correction: Utilizes a shutter-correction/shutter-less algorithm for consistent image quality.
• Brightness/Contrast Adjustment: Adjustable from 0 to 100 (optional).
• Polarity/Palette: Supports White-hot, Black-hot, and various other palettes.
• Zoom digital: Continuous zoom from 1.0x to 8.0x (step size: 0.1).
• Image Mirroring: Vertical/Horizontal/Diagonal mirroring options.

For detailed control commands and software integration, please refer to the specific SDK and API documentation provided by Infiray for developers.

5. Manteniment

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Infiray Mini2 640 module, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Neteja: Gently clean the lens and module exterior with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. For stubborn dirt on the lens, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical components.
• Manipulació: Handle the module with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts. When connecting cables, ensure proper alignment to prevent damage to the connectors.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the module in a dry, dust-free environment within the specified storage temperature range (-50°C to +85°C) and humidity (5%-95%, non-condensing).
• Protecció del medi ambient: While the module is designed for various environments, protect it from extreme conditions beyond its operating limits, such as direct exposure to corrosive substances or excessive moisture.
