Description
Use the HT command to set the FT702LT heater parameters, including switching the heater
on or off and configuring the heater set point. It is possible to query the sensor’s internal
temperature. It is also possible to query the duty cycle of the heater, which specifies the
percentage of the current being drawn by the heaters.
