PX20: Ensuring Correct Operating Temperatures
The operating temperatures of hardware devices directly affect their
life time and their functionality. To avoid shortening the life times of
the hardware components, ensure that the operating temperature of
the dSPACE system does not exceed the specified ambient
temperature, for example, due to improper installation.
