Page 3: Overview
1. Overview This user manual is aimed to give users a fast introduction to the use of the MI0802 Camera Module Evaluation Kit (EVK) and its accompanying software. MI0802 Camera Module Evaluation Kit (EVK) The MI0802 Camera Module EVK contains •... -

MI0802 Camera Module. This companion chip performs all the low-level computations and signal timing required to process the raw data from the MI0802 Camera Module, thus removing this burden from any external processors. -
Page 5: Mi48D0 Thermal Image Processor Board
MI48D0 Thermal Image Processor Board The MI48D0 Thermal Image Processor Board demonstrates how the MI0802 Camera Module and MI48D0 TIP are connected. It provides an USB Type C receptacle connector and a standard 2.54mm 12-pin header containing the SPI/I2C interface for easy integration into any external processor or system. If the MI48D0 Thermal Image Processor Board is connected to the External Interface Board the USB Type C port is automatically disabled. -

B connector plug, and should be connected to a host PC via a USB 2.0 High-speed (HS) port for power and communication. EVK Graphical User Interface (GUI) Software The EVK GUI software is a computer program that allows a computer user to control the External Interface Processor board, view the thermal images captured, and more. -
Page 7: Gui Software
2. GUI Software The following sections describe how to obtain, run and operate the GUI on a Windows-based computer with a USB 2.0 High-Speed connector socket or TCP/IP. Minimum System Requirements The GUI currently only supports computers running Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10. It also requires at least one USB 2.0 port supporting USB. -
Page 8: Capturing Image
Capturing Image Press the “Get Single” button under “SenXor Controls”. The EVK will capture a thermal image, which will be transmitted to and displayed on the GUI. Press the “Get Continuous” button under “SenXor Controls”. The EVK will begin to continuously capture thermal images, and the GUI display will be continuous updated. -
Page 9: Display & Cursor Interactions
Display & Cursor Interactions While there is an image displayed on the “Thermal Image” display area, it accepts cursor clicks on the displayed image to place a “crosshair” on a pixel. The array coordinates and temperature reading for that pixel is shown in the “Image Info at Target” area. Crosshair Co-ordinate and temperature... -

unchecked, the “Scale Min” and “Scale Max” controls allow the user to manually adjust the minimum and maximum temperatures of the color scale. Note that if a pixel on the image exceeds the maximum temperature of the color palette scale, that pixel will be applied the color corresponding to the maximum value on the color palette scale, similar to a pixel below minimum temperature. -
Page 11: Temperature Unit
Temperature Unit By default, all temperatures values displayed on the GUI is in degrees Celsius. This can be modified to degree Fahrenheit or Kelvin. Gain, Emissivity, Sensitivity and Temperature Offset Adjustment The Gain determines the range of scene temperatures that can be reported, which supports two modes –... -
Page 12: Data Recording
Data Recording The thermal data will be dumped when recording is activated to specific folder. The output format per frame is as following: [PC Time from UTC], [frame number], [Senxor VDD], [Senxor Die Temperature],[Timestamp], [Cursor [Cursor [Temperature at Cursor],[row*column thermal data]\n PC Time from UTC: The current time from UTC. -
Page 13: Flip & Rotation
Flip & Rotation In Actions menu, user can horizontally flip or rotate clockwise the thermogram. The selector is based on the connected EVK. Default orientation, horizontal flip and rotation example Register Read/Write In the register menu, user can read or write to the MI48D0 TIP registers to get the status of the thermal sensor and the TIP, and change the settings of the thermal sensor and the TIP.
