Page 3: Overview
Nightingale Operating Manual Overview The Nightingale BTR-03 Body (Skin) Temperature Reference provides a stable, uniform, low cost and simple to operate thermal source. Features such as “set and forget” configuration, tripod mounting and thermal performance make it simple to integrate into a thermal imaging body (skin) temperature screening system. The reference source is configured through a USB interface and stores the setpoint in non-volatile memory.

Nightingale Operating Manual Initial Setup & Installation Box Contents The box contains the following items packaged in protective foam and can be used to store the items when they are not in use:  Thermal Reference Source and Dust Cover ...
Page 5: Mounting (Tripod Mount, Orientation)
Nightingale Operating Manual Mounting (Tripod mount, Orientation) The BTR-03 provides three tripod mounting features on the bottom of the unit. These features have ¼-20” female threads that allow for easy connection to most small standard tripods. The BTR-03 is light enough so that only one of the features is needed for mounting.
Page 6: Connections (Power, Usb)
Nightingale Operating Manual Connections (Power, USB) The power supply connects to the BTR-03 using a right-angle barrel connector. When connecting or disconnecting the power supply to/from the BTR-03 grip the power cable connector to ensure a stress-free mate/de-mate to the BTR-03. Do not attempt to remove the power supply from the BTR-03 by the power supply wire.
Page 7: Initial Configuration
Nightingale Operating Manual Initial Configuration The BTR-03 is configured to a 35C setpoint from the factory. Without any configuration changes, the BTR-03 will slew the reference to the setpoint upon power up. While the BTR-03 is slewing, the LED will flash at a constant rate. Once the BTR-03 has reached the setpoint and stabilized, the LED will be lit solid.
Page 8: Command List
Nightingale Operating Manual Command List Below is the BTR-03 command list. Please see the Operation section of this manual for details and examples. Command Response Description Measurement & Control Commands T= xx.xx Gets reference temperature in selected units (C or F) DA= xx.x Gets temperature setpoint in selected units (C or F)
Page 9 Nightingale Operating Manual Status Commands SR= XX Returns Status byte. The Status byte is returned as a decimal number but can be interpreted as a bit field. 0 : Ready and No Errors 16: Busy and No Errors 32: Ready and Errors 48 : Busy and Errors ER= XX Returns error bit field as a decimal number.
Page 10: Operation
Nightingale Operating Manual Operation USB connection The USB port of the BTR-03 looks like a standard serial port. It is important to use the correct port settings to ensure a reliable connection. The BTR-03 communicates at 9600 Baud. It uses 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. Parity bits are not used for this connection.
Page 11: Status & Errors
Nightingale Operating Manual The user can read back the current ambient temperature using the MAT command. The BTR-03 will respond with “AT=xx.x” showing the current ambient temperature in the units selected. The user can read back the current ambient relative humidity using the HAH command.
Page 12: Calibration
Nightingale Operating Manual MERROR provides verbose error feedback: ERR BAD COMMAND An unrecognized command has been entered since the last MERROR command (non-critical) ERR OUT OF RANGE A parameter of a command (e.g. setpoint) has been entered that is not within the expected range since the last MERROR command (non- critical)

Page 15: Windows Usb Communications
Nightingale Operating Manual Windows USB Communications Connect the BTR to the computer using the USB cable. When using a PC with the Windows™ operating system, navigate to the Device Manager located in Control Panel to determine the number of the COM port of the USB serial port that is associated with the plugged in BTR-03 (COM4 in this example).
Page 16 Nightingale Operating Manual In some Windows installations, Windows may not recognize the USB connection and will need a driver update. In these cases, the serial connection appears as a USB Serial device in the “Other Devices” section of the Device Manager (as shown below). If the COM port is not shown, download and install the latest drivers found here: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21228_Setup.zip...
Page 17 Nightingale Operating Manual Use or download a terminal program such as PuTTY (this can be downloaded for free at www.putty.org) to connect to the USB serial port that was shown in the Device Manager (COM4 in this example). The settings for the serial port that you will enter once you have a terminal program opened are listed below and described in further detail on subsequent steps: ...
