PhidgetIR

Post by Wayne Kiely »

Good evening.
I am running the trial version of FlowStone (full version ordered) and have successfully connected the program to the only Phidget I have - the IR sensor using the PhTemp module.
Can anyone tell me how to access the ambient temperature sensor on the PhidgetIR board? The Component Reference Guide does not mention the PhidgetIR at all, but I have found that the IR sensor reports to output 1. The floating point ambient output just reads 0 constantly. I have not specified any 'type' or 'sensitivity' inputs.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Wayne

This problem resolved itself - sort of. I hate it when problems 'just go away' - they will probably 'just come back', but it does prove that there was nothing wrong with my plan.
In the middle of a session tonight, the ambient temperature started flowing down the line as per expectations.
My only difficulty is explaining how the ambient temperature could be reporting to the Phidget Console but not to FlowStone.
Regards,
Wayne
