Switching temperature setpoints
The Goldeye temperature control allows to switch between setpoints
automatically or manually. If set to Auto, it switches up or down to the next
setpoint, based on the conditions inside the camera. Note that TECless models do
not switch setpoints.

Only the sensor board is switched off
If the internal temperature exceeds the Alert limit, only the sensor and the cooling
is shut down.
The camera is not powered down.
You may bring back the camera to normal operation after it is
cooled down
sufficiently.
To do so, switch the power supply off and switch it on again.

understanding: the case temperature profile is shown in a simplified way that
covers the whole temperature range.)
