WHEN USING A RESISTIVE HEATER, be sure to set the transducer type (CH X >
Settings > Plant) to Heater/Monopolar. If set to TEC/Bipolar, attempts by the SLICE-
QTC to actively cool your plant will result in a thermal runaway condition.
Front-panel Inputs & Outputs
The front panel of the SLICE-QTC has two analog inputs (channels A & B) and two analog outputs
(channels 1 & 2, not to be confused with the temperature control channels) available for use. The two
analog outputs can be configured to output useful monitor signals, while the two analog inputs can be
configured to provide additional functionality. A schematic of the input and output functionality is
shown in
figure 29 , with the light blue boxes indicating the front panel I/O. The voltage range of the
analog I/O on the SLICE-QTC is ±10 V.
To program the functionality of the front panel I/O, from any screen, touch the I/O icon on the left
sidebar. You will be presented with the screen shown in
figure 27 .
Fig. 27: Programming the front-panel I/O
Touch the blue-framed window to the right of the I/O channel you wish to program. Upon doing so,
you will be presented with a pull-down menu of the various options available for that channel. For
instance, if you select channel A input, you will be presented with the screen shown in
figure 28 . You
can select the input to be any of the signals shown in table 7 for any of the four temperature-control
channels.
