4. GUI structure
This section describes the different sections of the GUI. To start, it is needed to
differentiate between the static and dynamic parts of the interface. Figure 3 illustrates the
parts. From top to bottom: the static menu, above the first red line. The dynamic section,
between the two red lines. The bottom static part (logo), under the second red line. The
dynamic section will change when switching between the different tabs. The static ones will
not.
All fields marked with “(i)” will reveal more information about the specific
parameters when the mouse is hovered over them.

4.1. Top level static menu
Figure 4. Screenshot of the top level (static) menu
This (static) section (see Figure 4) is the main navigation interface between the different
dynamic sections. A breakdown of the different buttons and their functionalities is listed as
follows (starting from the top left corner):
●About
○License - this opens up a small pop up window describing the version of the
GUI and its license. It contains information about third party libraries as well.
○Product page - pressing this will open the default web browser to the
product page of the Terabee IND-Thermal-90
●Tools
○Factory reset - pressing this will reset the currently selected sensor to the
factory default settings. A warning pop up with some text explaining what is
about to happen will be displayed and a Yes/No confirmation will be
expected from the user.
A sensor restart (power off-on cycle) is highly recommended after this action.
●Connection - pressing this button will switch the dynamic section of the window to
the Connection tab.
●Settings - pressing this button will switch the dynamic section of the window to the
Settings tab.

4.2. Connection Tab
At start, the GUI will open the Connection tab and the window will look like in Figure 3.
On the left side of the window, there is the connection to the network section. This
contains 3 fields and 2 buttons, as follows:
●Port - this entry field allows the user to select the physical port to which the RS485
to USB adapter is connected. Information on how to obtain the port number can be
seen if the mouse cursor is hovered over the field for about 1 second.
●Baudrate - this scroll down menu allows selecting the baudrate of the connection.
This selection needs to match the baudrate of the IND-Thermal-90 sensor. By
default, this value is 19200.
●Parity - this scroll down menu selects the parity of the connection. This selection
needs to match the parity of the IND-Thermal-90 sensor. By default, this value is
Even.
●Connect - once the settings are correctly selected, pressing the button Connect will
open the communication port to the RS485 network.
●Disconnect - disconnects the port.
The slave device selection is placed to the right of the network connection, separated by a
vertical line. Once the network connection is established, select the slave device to address.
The slave IDs can be in the range of 1-247, default value being 1. Once the correct slave ID
is selected, press Select slave. This will start a routine that will verify the connection to that
specific device and, if the connection is validated, it will enable the rest of the buttons of
the interface.
Finally, on the far right side of the window, contained within a box, there is a section which
can update the selected device network configuration. This can be done by selecting the
new desired parameters, such as baudrate, parity, and slave address, then clicking on
Update. A small pop up window with more details and a confirmation button will appear.
The change of these parameters corresponds to the holding registers at address 0 (Device
address) and 1 (RS485 parameters).
A sensor restart (power off-on cycle) is highly recommended after this action.

4.3. Settings tab
This section (shown in Fig. 5) handles the device’s global settings, meaning it defines how
the electrical NO/NC pin behaves and which applications are allowed to trigger an action
on the pin.
Figure 5. Screenshot of the Settings tab
The list of options is reported below (starting from the top):
●Electrical NO/NC output - this button acts as a master switch and defines whether
the NO/NC pin can be actuated. If this is disabled (not checked), even if there is an
alarm condition in an enabled application, the electrical output will not react.
Toggling (checking) this corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at
address 0 (NO/NC enabled/disabled).
●NO/NC select - this scroll down menu defines whether the electrical pin will act as a
normally open or normally closed contact. Changing this corresponds to writing
TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 2 (NO/NC selected).
●NPN/PNP select - this scroll down menu defines the type of circuit used to actuate
the pin. In an NPN circuit (also known as a sinking output) the pin will short to

ground when activated. On the other hand, a PNP circuit (also known as sourcing
output) will provide 24V @ 450mA when activated. Changing this setting
corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 3 (NPN/PNP
selected).
●Temperature choice - this scroll down menu defines which thresholds are being
used for the applications. There are 3 options: Hot, Cold, and Hot & Cold. Changing
this parameter corresponds to writing to the Holding Register at address 13
(Temperature choice).
●NO/NC timer based - this scroll down menu defines how the electrical pin gets
reset. There are two choices: Timer based and Action based. Timer based means
the pin will reset after the delay seen in the field below this (NO/NC duration),
whereas Action based means the pin will remain active until the Reset NO/NC pin
button gets pressed on one of the applications screen. Changing this setting
corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 1 (NO/NC timer
based).
●NO/NC duration - this input field defines how long the electrical output will remain
active when NO/NC timer based is set to TRUE (Timer based). This field can be
manually edited in the range 50-2000. Changing this value corresponds to writing to
the Holding Register at address 8 (NO/NC ON time). Press ENTER to save the value.
●Emissivity - This input field allows selecting the emissivity of the target. The values
are defined from 1 to 100, corresponding to a real emissivity range between 0.01 (1
in this box) and 1 (100 in this box). For best results, this value should match the
emissivity of the material being measured. Changing this value corresponds to
writing to the Holding Register at address 9 (IND-Thermal-90 emissivity). Press
ENTER to save the value.
●Application 1, 2, and 3 - Switching buttons to enable or disable the respective
applications alarm. Toggling these buttons corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE in
the Input Coils at addresses 5 (Application 1 (alarm) enabled/disabled), 6
(Application 2 (alarm) enabled/disabled), and 7 (Application 3 (alarm)
enabled/disabled).

4.4. Application 1 page
This screen (shown in Figure 6) shows all the necessary functions for Application 1. As all
Application screens, it can be split into two parts: the application specific settings on the
left and the image on the right.
Figure 6. Application 1 tab
Starting from the settings on the left, the elements are as follows:
●Application alarm option ENABLED/DISABLED - status text based on the selected
settings in the Settings page. If the application’s alarm is enabled, this text will read
Application alarm option ENABLED (enabled in green color), otherwise Application
alarm option DISABLED (disabled in red color).
●4 frame moving average (applications 1 and 3) - checking this button will enable
a 4 frame temporal moving average for applications 1 and 3. The moving average
will smoothen the image, reducing some of the noise. Changing this setting
corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 10 (Application 1
and 3 moving average).
●Limit Field of View - checking this button will limit the scanning of Application 1 to
the inner 20×20 pixels, thus reducing the impact of the wide angle lens which
results in the edges being more noisy. An overlay will be drawn over the image
highlighting the area scanned, as shown in Figure 7. Changing this setting

corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 9 (Application 1
limited FoV flag).
Figure 7. Application 1 tab with Limit Field of View = TRUE
●Threshold temperatures
○Min[°C] - this input field defines the minimum (cold) threshold temperature
for the application. The value range is -20 to +670 °C. This setting is only
active when the Temperature Choice is set to either Cold or Hot and Cold. After
writing the desired limit, press Set new thresholds to send them to the device.
Changing this setting corresponds to writing the value in decikelvin to the
Holding Register at address 3 (Application 1 cold threshold).
○Avg[°C] - no data here, value is displayed in the Measurements panel,
described in the following point.
○Max[°C] - this input field defines the maximum (hot) threshold temperature
for the application. The value range is -20 to +670 °C. This setting is only
active when the Temperature Choice is set to either Hot or Hot and Cold. After
writing the desired limit, press Set new thresholds to send them to the device.
Changing this setting corresponds to writing the value in decikelvin to the
Holding Register at address 2 (Application 1 hot threshold).
○Set new thresholds - press this button to send the limit values currently
shown in the Min[°C] and Max[°C] fields to the device.
●Measurements

■First row (Min[°C]) - this value represents the temperature of the
coldest pixel in the used Field of View. This value is taken from the
Input Register at address 0 (Application 1 minimum temperature) and
converted to degrees Celsius.
■Second row (Avg[°C]) - this value represents the average
temperature over the used Field of View. This value is taken from the
Input Register at address 4 (Application 1 mean temperature) and
converted to degrees Celsius.
■Third row (Max[°C]) - this value represents the temperature of the
hottest pixel in the used Field of View. This value is taken from the
Input Register at address 2 (Application 1 maximum temperature) and
converted to degrees Celsius.
○Coordinates [x,y]
■First row (Min[°C]) - this value represents the xy coordinates of the
coldest pixel in the used Field of View. This value is taken from the
Input Register at address 1 (Application 1 minimum YX coordinates)
and converted to xy coordinates.
■Third row (Max[°C]) - this value represents the xy coordinates of the
hottest pixel in the used Field of View. This value is taken from the
Input Register at address 3 (Application 1 maximum YX coordinates)
and converted to xy coordinates.
●Alarm condition TRUE/FALSE - this field shows the status of the application. If this
flag is set to TRUE (red color), it means that there is a breach of the threshold
temperature and, if the application’s alarm is enabled, it will activate the electrical
NO/NC pin. This value is taken from the Discrete Input at address 2 (Application 1
alarm triggered).
●Reset NO/NC pin - pressing this button will write FALSE to the Input Coil at address
11 (Clear NO/NC) and will deactivate the electrical NO/NC pin. This function is used
when the NO/NC timer based parameter is set to FALSE (Action based) and thus
requires manual reset.
●Update measurements - by pressing this button the GUI software will read and
update the application inputs (measured min/max pixel temperatures and
coordinates, average temperature, alarm status). This is a fast operation and will
not update the image.
●Update measurements + image - pressing this button will read and update the
application inputs (measured min/max pixel temperatures and coordinates,
average temperature, alarm status) and the image. This is a slow operation and
requires over 10 Modbus requests.
●Continuously update measurements + image - pressing this button will trigger an
infinite cycle of Update measurements + image, giving the feeling of a real time
stream of data, especially if the baud rate of the connection is set to the maximum.
While this logic is active, all other elements of the GUI window are disabled. Press
again this button to stop the infinite cycle and enable navigation through the
interface.

4.5. Application 2 page
This screen (shown in Figure 8) shows all the necessary functions for Application 2. As all
Application screens, it can be split into two parts: the application specific settings on the
left and the image on the right.
Figure 8. Application 2 tab
Starting from the settings on the left, the elements are as follows:
●Application alarm option ENABLED/DISABLED - status text based on the selected
settings in the Settings page. If the application’s alarm is enabled, this text will read
Application alarm option ENABLED (enabled in green color), otherwise Application
alarm option DISABLED (disabled in red color).
●Centered area size [px x px] - this scroll down menu allows adjusting the
parameter which will modify the size of the target square, shown as a white contour
over the image on the right. The application’s logic will only average the pixels
contained within that area. Changing this setting corresponds to writing to the
Holding Register at address 10 (Application 2 centered area size).
The white contour will update with the next image request, done by pressing the
Update measurements + image button.

●Temporal moving average window [frames] - this input text defines the
parameter used to establish the size of the moving average used by the application.
The value range is 1-16. A lower value will improve the response time and increase
the noise, while a higher value will decrease noise considerably, but increase the
response time. Changing this parameter corresponds to writing to the Holding
Register at address 11 (Application 2 moving average size). Press ENTER to save the
value.
●Threshold temperatures
○Min[°C] - this input field setting defines the minimum (cold) threshold
temperature for the application. The value range is -20 to +670 °C. This
setting is only active when the Temperature Choice is set to either Cold or Hot
and Cold. After writing the desired limit, press Set new thresholds to send
them to the device. Changing this setting corresponds to writing the value in
decikelvin to the Holding Register at address 5 (Application 2 cold threshold).
○Avg[°C] - on this row, in the Measurements field, the current measured
temperature within the target area is shown.
○Max[°C] - this input field setting setting defines the maximum (hot) threshold
temperature for the application. The value range is -20 to +670 °C. This
setting is only active when the Temperature Choice is set to either Hot or Hot
and Cold. After writing the desired limit, press Set new thresholds to send
them to the device. Changing this setting corresponds to writing the value in
decikelvin to the Holding Register at address 4 (Application 2 hot threshold).
○Set new thresholds - press this button to send the limit values currently
shown in the Min[°C] and Max[°C] fields to the device.
●Measurements
○Temperature [°C] - this field represents the measured temperature
(averaged spatially based on the size of the target area and temporally based
on the number of frames to be averaged) in the target area. This value is
taken from the Input Register at address 24 (Application 2 temperature) and
converted to degrees Celsius.
●Alarm condition TRUE/FALSE - this field shows the status of the application. If this
flag is set to TRUE (red color), it means that there is a breach of the threshold
temperature and, if the application’s alarm is enabled, it will activate the electrical
NO/NC pin. This value is taken from the Discrete Input at address 3 (Application 2
alarm triggered).
●Reset NO/NC pin - pressing this button will write FALSE to the Input Coil at address
11 (Clear NO/NC) and will deactivate the electrical NO/NC pin. This function is used
when the NO/NC timer based parameter is set to FALSE and thus requires manual
reset.

4.6. Application 3 page
This screen (shown in Figure 9) shows all the necessary functions for Application 3. As all
Application screens, it can be split into two parts: the application specific settings on the
left and the image on the right.
Figure 9. Application 3 tab
Starting from the settings on the left, the elements are as follows:
●Application alarm option ENABLED/DISABLED - status text based on the selected
settings in the Settings page. If the application’s alarm is enabled, this text will read
Application alarm option ENABLED (enabled in green color), otherwise Application
alarm option DISABLED (disabled in red color).
●Grid ROI size [px x px] - this scroll down menu allows adjusting the parameter
which will modify the size of the Regions of Interest (ROIs). The ROIs are highlighted
in white on the image, with some text in the middle in the following format “A %x
%t” where %x stands for the number of the area i.e. A1 is area 1, and %t is the
temperature of the area in degrees Celsius. The temperature values are taken from
the Input Registers starting at address 25 up to address 280 (Application 3 ROI
temperature).

The white contour and temperature info will update with the next image
request, done by pressing the Update measurements + image button.
●4 frame moving average (applications 1 and 3) - checking this button will enable
a 4 frame temporal moving average for applications 1 and 3. The moving average
will smoothen the image, reducing some of the noise. Changing this setting
corresponds to writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 10 (Application 1
and 3 moving average).
●Threshold temperatures
○Min[°C] - this input field setting defines the minimum (cold) threshold
temperature for the application. The value range is -20 to +670 °C. This
setting is only active when the Temperature Choice is set to either Cold or Hot
and Cold. After writing the desired limit, press Set new thresholds to send
them to the device. Changing this setting corresponds to writing the value in
decikelvin to the Holding Register at address 7 (Application 3 cold threshold).
○Max[°C] - this input field setting defines the maximum (hot) threshold
temperature for the application. The value range is -20 to +670 °C. This
setting is only active when the Temperature Choice is set to either Hot or Hot
and Cold. After writing the desired limit, press Set new thresholds to send
them to the device. Changing this setting corresponds to writing the value in
decikelvin to the Holding Register at address 6 (Application 3 hot threshold).
○Set new thresholds - press this button to send the limit values currently
shown in the Min[°C] and Max[°C] fields to the device.
●Measurements
○Highest delta breach hotspot temperature [°C] -this field represents the
temperature recorded in the area with the highest temperature difference to
the thresholds. For example, if the temperature choice is set to Hot and Cold
and the cold threshold is 10°C, hot threshold is 50°C, and one area has a
recorded temperature of 65°C, and another a temperature of -10°C, this field
will show -10°C, since the absolute delta between 10 and -10 is 20, whereas
between 50 and 65 it is only 15. This value is taken from the Input Register at
address 21 (Highest delta breach hotspot temperature).
○Highest delta breach hotspot location [area] - this field represents the
area that corresponds to the Highest delta breach hotspot temperature [°C] i.e.
a value of 5 in this field means that the temperature example given for the
point above would be found in the fifth area. Therefore, the area on the
image should read as follows “A 5 -10.0”. This value is taken from the Input
Register at address 22 (Highest delta breach hotspot coordinates as
expressed by registers “Application 3 hotspot location”)
●Counter value - this value represents the current counter value as expressed by
the Input Register at address 23 (Application 3 Hotspot counter). If the Counter type
is set to Bidirectional, this value will represent the amount of areas currently
exceeding the limit temperatures.
●Counter type - changing this parameter will alter the behavior of the counter,
switching it between Bidirectional and Unidirectional. This change corresponds to

18/19

writing TRUE or FALSE to the Input Coil at address 4 (Application 3 uni-directional
counter).
●Reset unidirectional counter - pressing this button will reset the unidirectional
counter to 0. This action is needed in order to refresh the counter, which will stop
incrementing once it reaches 65535. Pressing this button corresponds to writing
TRUE to the Input Coil at address 12 (Application 3 reset uni-directional counter).
●Alarm condition TRUE/FALSE - this field shows the status of the application. If this
flag is set to TRUE (red color), it means that there is a breach of the threshold
temperature and, if the application’s alarm is enabled, it will activate the electrical
NO/NC pin. This value is taken from the Discrete Input at address 4 (Application 3
alarm triggered).
●Reset NO/NC pin - pressing this button will write FALSE to the Input Coil at address
11 (Clear NO/NC) and will deactivate the electrical NO/NC pin. This function is used
when the NO/NC timer based parameter is set to FALSE and thus requires manual
reset.
●Update measurements - pressing this button will read and update the application
inputs (measured min/max pixel temperatures and coordinates, average
temperature, alarm status). This is a fast operation and will not update the image.
●Update measurements + image - pressing this button will read and update the
application inputs (measured min/max pixel temperatures and coordinates,
average temperature, alarm status) and the image. This is a slow operation and
requires over 12 Modbus requests. This action will also update the area values.
●Continuously update measurements + image - pressing this button will trigger an
infinite cycle of Update measurements + image, giving the feeling of a real time
stream of data, especially if the baud rate of the connection is set to the maximum.
While this logic is active, all other elements of the GUI window are disabled. Press
again this button to stop the infinite cycle and enable navigation through the
interface.
