Standard FOV (field of view)
The standard FOV (field of view) of the MLX90601 IR module is as shown here:
What this means is that if you want the highest possible accuracy, you need to make sure your target fills
the +/-50 deg angle seen by the sensor.
Minimum Resolution (approx.): 0.025 deg C at 25 C target temperature
(Minimum Resolution is achieved with the “low pass filter” inside the MLX90601 processor set at
maximum filtering. This is the standard factory setting. This results in approximately 600 ms response
time. The resolution can be further improved by additional filtering by an external processor if the
MLX90601 is connected by SPI bus to a low cost micro-controller. Of course, the response time
increases when this technique is used. The filter setting is accessible by using the EVB90601 kit.)
