Tab. 9: Most recent firmware versions as of July 2022
From time to time, Vescent will upgrade the firmware for controlling the SLICE-QTC. The procedure to
upgrade the firmware is given
here .
Host GUI
If accessed through a PC Host GUI , the Settings screen ( figure 41 ) also has the ability to assign the
COM port for the device. If viewed through the GUI, there are no brightness or volume controls as
these should be set on the PC directly.

Servo/Manual Modes
Under most circumstances, the system will control the current to the transducer in order to minimize
temperature fluctuations of your thermal plant. From time to time, it may also be desirable for the
user to directly control the current to the transducer. This is done in Manual mode (open-loop control).
To toggle between Servo and Manual modes, touch Servo on the Channel Detail screen (
figure 21 ). In
Servo mode (closed-loop control), it is possible to adjust the set point temperature, but not the
current. In Manual mode, it is possible to adjust the current, but not the set point temperature.
Caution should be exercised when using Manual mode as it is possible to create a thermal runaway
