====== Quad Temperature Controller Command Set ======

List of commands for the ICE Quad Temperate Controller.

<function=ICEfunc?0=TempSet？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=26.283&3=16>
Returns the temperature setpoint for channel CHANNEL.
/*Note: For the Return Question mark, we had to use a slightly different question mark image. This one: ？. Rather than this one: ?. */

<function=ICEfunc?0=TempSet&1=I:CHANNEL:3;F:TEMP:24.55&2=24.548&3=17>
Sets the temperature setpoint for channel Channel to TEMP. Returns output from **TempSet?**.
\\
\\
//Note: temperature setpoint cannot be set outside of the bounds of the minimum and maximum temperature. 
If TEMP is outside that range, temperature setpoint will not be adjusted.//

<function=ICEfunc?0=BiPolar？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=On&3=18>
Returns whether the temperature loop for channel CHANNEL is bipolar.

<function=ICEfunc?0=BiPolar&1=I:CHANNEL:3;A:On/Off:Off&2=Off&3=19>
Sets the temperature loop for channel CHANNEL bipolar (heating only) on or off. 
Turn Bipolar off when driving resistive heaters. Returns output from **BiPolar?**.

<function=ICEfunc?0=Servo？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=Off&3=20>
Returns the status (ON or OFF or FAULT) of the temperature servo loop for channel CHANNEL. 
A return of fault means that the temperature is outside the min/max temperature range and that the 
temperature loop has been temporarily disabled.

<function=ICEfunc?0=Servo&1=I:CHANNEL:3;A:On/Off:On&2=On&3=21>
Turns the temperature servo loop for channel CHANNEL on or off.  Returns the output of **Servo?**

<function=ICEfunc?0=Temp？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=24.21&3=22>
Returns the current temperature for channel CHANNEL.  

<function=ICEfunc?0=TError？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=0.021&3=23>
Returns the temperature error (T<sub>setpoint</sub> – T<sub>actual</sub>) in degrees Celsius.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=Current？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=0.651&3=24>
Returns the current flowing through TEC (or resistive heater) in Amps.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=TempMin？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=15.3&3=25>
Returns the minimum temperature for channel CHANNEL. 
If the temperature is ever less than MINTEMP, the board will temporarily disable the temperature 
loop until the temperature rises above MINTEMP. 
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=TempMin&1=I:CHANNEL:3;F:MINTEMP:14.32&2=14.3&3=26>
Sets the minimum temperature channel CHANNEL to MINTEMP. Returns **TempMin?**. Note: You cannot set MINTEMP 
greater than the temperature setpoint. Attempting to do so will not change the minimum temperature.
<html></div></html>


<function=ICEfunc?0=TempMax？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=55.3&3=27>
Returns the maximum temperature for channel CHANNEL. 
If the temperature is ever greater than MAXTEMP, the board will temporarily disable the temperature 
loop until the temperature drops below MAXTEMP. 
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=TempMax&1=I:CHANNEL:3;F:MAXTEMP:54.32&2=54.3&3=28>
Sets the maximum temperature channel CHANNEL to MAXTEMP. Returns **TempMax?**. Note: You cannot set MAXTEMP 
less than the temperature setpoint. Attempting to do so will not change the maximum temperature.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=Gain？?&1=I:CHANNEL:3&2=34&3=29>
Returns the gain setting temperature loop servo gain for channel CHANNEL. Gain can be from 1 to 255.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=Gain&1=I:CHANNEL:3;I:GAIN:34&2=34&3=30>
Sets the gain for the temperature loop servo gain for channel CHANNEL. 
Gain range can be 1 to 255. Returns output of **Gain?**.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecData&1=I:CHANNEL:2&2=BUSY&3=31>
Record data on the temperature error of channel CHANNEL with amplitude, interval and number of points set 
by the **RecAmp**, **RecInt**, **RecNum** functions. Returns **RecStat?**
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecStat？?&1&2=BUSY&3=32>
Returns the status of recording data from the RecData command. 
Returns status of either NODATA, BUSY, FINISHED.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecInt？?&1&2=34&3=33>
Returns the setting for the time interval between data points when taking data with the RecData command. 
Time between points is 10ms * INTERVAL. Value can be from 1 to 255 (10ms – 2.55s)
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecInt&1=I:INTERVAL:200&2=200&3=34>
Sets the interval setting for time between data points when taking data with the RecData command. 
Time between points is 10mS * INTERVAL. Value can be from 1 to 255 (10ms – 2.55s). 
Returns output of **RecInt?** Command.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecAmp？?&1&2=3&3=35>
Returns the amplitude for data stored by the RecData command. Valid range is 0-5. When AMPLITUDE is 0, 
the range for the temperature error is from -18.75mK to 18.75mK in steps of 0.15mK. 
When AMPLITUDE is 1, the range for the temperature error is from -37.5mK to 37.5mK in steps of 0.3mK. 
When AMPLITUDE is 5, the range for the temperature error is from -600mK to 600mK in steps of 4.7mK.
\\
The formula for the temperature range is +/-18.75mK*2^(AMPLITUDE) in steps of 0.15mK*2^(AMPLITUDE).
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecAmp&1=I:AMPLITUDE:3&2=3&3=36>
Sets the amplitude for the data stored by the **RecData** command.  See **RecAmp?** for more details. 
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecNum？?&1&2=199&3=37>
Returns the number of data points to be collected when **RecData** is run. Range is from 1 to 256.
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=RecNum&1=I:NUMBER:50&2=50&3=38>
Sets the command **RecData** to take NUMBER + 1 data points. NUMBER can be from 0 to 255. Returns **RecNum?**
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=MaxCurr？?&1=I:CHANNEL:2&2=0.32&3=39>
Returns the maximum TEC current allowed for the temperature loop on channel CHANNEL. 
<html></div></html>

<function=ICEfunc?0=MaxCurr&1=I:CHANNEL:2;F:MAXCURRENT:0.25&2=0.25&3=40>
Sets the maximum TEC current allowed for the temperature loop on channel CHANNEL. Returns the output of **MaxCurr?**.
