Software Reference
ITec
– The display shows the current (in Amps) sourced into the TEC element by
the controller.
TEC Enable Button - turns the output of the TEC controller ON and OFF.
TEC On and TEC Off LEDs
- lit wh en the controller output is enabled or disabled
(using the button above).
Settings display
- shows the type of the associated T-Cube together with the
following user specified settings:
Sensor
- the type of TEC element associated with the controller. This is selected
in the Settings panel as follows:
AD59X IC Type
20kOhm Thermistor
200kOhm Thermistor
TSet Jog Step
- the maximum current limit of the laser source. Due to individual
variations between laser diodes, this value will differ from unit to unit.
Loop Prop
– The current value of the ‘Proportional’ parameter of the PID loop.
Loop Int
– The current value of the ‘Integral’ parameter of the PID loop.
Loop Diff
- The current value of the ‘Differential’ parameter of the PID loop.
Settings button
- Displays the 'Settings' panel, which allows the tuning parameters
to be entered.
Ident
- when this button is pressed, the front panel LED and digital display of the
associated controller T-Cube will flash for a short period.
Error
