Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_EMISSIVITY
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 16:54:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427212459-31585-5-git-send-email-vianney.leclement@essensium.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427212459-31585-1-git-send-email-vianney.leclement@essensium.com>

Contact-less IR temperature sensors measure the temperature of an object
by using its thermal radiation.  Surfaces with different emissivity
ratios emit different amounts of energy at the same temperature.

IIO_CHAN_INFO_EMISSIVITY allows the user to inform the sensor of the
emissivity of the object in front of it, in order to effectively measure
its temperature.

A device providing such setting is Melexis's MLX90614:
http://melexis.com/Assets/IR-sensor-thermometer-MLX90614-Datasheet-5152.aspx.
