Cyclecameratemp<CR>
Command Description
This operation cycles the camera temperature by setting the camera
setpoint to 20 °C, waiting for the camera to reach this setpoint,
resetting the camera to -45 °C, and then waiting for the camera to
return to this temperature.
This command may be useful when transitioning from fluorescence to
luminescence experiments. Cycling the camera temperature allows the
camera CCD chip to recover from the high light levels present during
fluorescence experiments and improves data quality in subsequent
luminescence experiments.
This command requires up to 15 minutes to complete execution.
Command Parameters
There are no parameters associated with this command.
Example Command Line
cyclecameratemp<CR>
Example Response
ok<CR>
Suggested Steps in Command Usage
• Make sure an experiment is not running.
• Send cyclecameratemp command.
• Response will be OK, confirming that command execution has
begun, or a Condition code related to the command indicating
that execution could not begin.
• Monitor status for completion, and error status for any other
kind of error.
Tempcontrolonoff<TAB>Temp<CR>
Command Description
This command sets the temperature setting for the instrument
chamber. After sending this command, the robotic controller should
monitor the instrument temperature to confirm that the instrument
reaches the setpoint. Some protocols will not execute until the required
temperature is reached.
