Using the TEC
The TEC is enabled upon camera powerup with a setpoint of 30C and does not require the User
Interface to run. The TEC function uses a thermistor for its control loop and has an available
temperature setpoint range of 10C to 45C. The TEC controller state can be set to ‘On’ or ‘Off’
which enables or disables the TEC. The actual thermistor temperature is displayed in the user
interface as shown in Figure 28 and the current is displayed in the section of the user interface
as in Figure 34.
