The thermoelectric cooler is monitored on this window. The average power
being put into the device to maintain the well temperature is displayed. Under
normal room ambient conditions, the power level should range from 2 to 6 Watts.
At elevated temperatures, the power increases. The resistance of the cooler
device is measured while it is turned on. An instantaneous reading is displayed.
