No. MINI 640-2 is the imaging version: it outputs video only, with no temperature data. For temperature measurement, choose MINI 640-2 Radiometric: a separate 640 × 512 core with two measurement ranges (−20°C to 150°C and 100°C to 650°C), typical accuracy of ±2°C or ±2%, and temperature data over USB, MIPI or DVP. ### Does MINI 640-2 work when plugged into a PC? Yes. Plug MINI 640-2 into a Windows PC over USB 2.0 and it is ready to use. Windows sees it as a USB camera, with no driver to install; on a laptop with a built-in webcam, disable the built-in camera first. CVBS analog video and UART / I²C control are also listed. For Linux or embedded hosts, or before designing your own wiring, confirm the connector pinout and host support with us. ### How should I read the 60 Hz and NETD figures? The manual lists a 60 Hz detector frame rate. NETD is separately specified as ≤ 40 mK at 25°C, F/1.0 and 25 Hz. These are different stated conditions: do not assume the NETD figure is validated at 60 Hz or with the 9.1 mm F0.8 lens. Confirm delivered video timing and sensitivity for the chosen configuration. ### Do 9 g and 21 × 21 × 10.3 mm include the lens? No. Both figures refer to the MINI 640-2 core without the lens. The listed 9.1 mm F0.8 lens and flange weigh 13 g ±1 g. Boards, connectors, cables and mounting hardware depend on the chosen assembly; request its complete drawing and mass before allocating space or payload capacity. ### Is there a minimum order, and how fast do samples ship? There is no minimum order; you can start with one unit. MINI 640-2 is in stock, and samples ship within one working day of payment. Prices are quoted for your configuration, quantity and destination. ### Documentation basis Source: MINI 640-2 Product Manual V1.0, dated 19 September 2025, PDF pages 5–6 (product selection and specifications).
