Description
The software was designed as a tool for rapid development of MLX90215 sensor applications. The software
provides a simple user interface for programming the MLX90215 and taking measurements. It has two main
interface screens, manual and auto-calibration. The manual mode gives the user control over all the pro-
grammable features of the sensor. The auto-calibration mode will optimize the programmable settings for
the application. The software can be used for engineering development, analysis, and small volume produc-
tion.
