  • Page 17: Enable Transient Correction Algorithm

    Transient Correction Algorithm The accurate performance of the TMP006EVM is highly dependent on a stable local temperature. Degraded performance can be observed when local temperature transients are introduced into the system, because the infrared (IR) thermopile in the TMP006 is sensitive to conducted and radiated IR energy from below the sensor as well as radiated IR energy that comes from above the sensor.
