Quad Temperature Controller Command Set

List of commands for the ICE Quad Temperate Controller.

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
26.283

I2C Command Number: 16


Description

Returns the temperature setpoint for channel CHANNEL.

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

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.

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
On

I2C Command Number: 18


Description

Returns whether the temperature loop for channel CHANNEL is bipolar.

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

Sets the temperature loop for channel CHANNEL bipolar (heating only) on or off. Turn Bipolar off when driving resistive heaters. Returns output from BiPolar?.

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
Off

I2C Command Number: 20


Description

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.

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

Turns the temperature servo loop for channel CHANNEL on or off. Returns the output of Servo?

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
24.21

I2C Command Number: 22


Description

Returns the current temperature for channel CHANNEL.

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
0.021

I2C Command Number: 23


Description

Returns the temperature error (Tsetpoint – Tactual) in degrees Celsius. <html></div></html>

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
0.651

I2C Command Number: 24


Description

Returns the current flowing through TEC (or resistive heater) in Amps. <html></div></html>

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
15.3

I2C Command Number: 25


Description

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>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

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>

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
55.3

I2C Command Number: 27


Description

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>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

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>

Arguments:

[Int] CHANNEL

Example:

 3 
34

I2C Command Number: 29


Description

Returns the gain setting temperature loop servo gain for channel CHANNEL. Gain can be from 1 to 255. <html></div></html>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

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>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

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>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

  
BUSY

I2C Command Number: 32


Description

Returns the status of recording data from the RecData command. Returns status of either NODATA, BUSY, FINISHED. <html></div></html>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

  
34

I2C Command Number: 33


Description

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>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

I2C Command Number:


Description

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>

Arguments:

No Arguments Taken

Example:

  
3

I2C Command Number: 35


Description

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>
