8.1 Measured Temperature Does Not Equal the Demand Temperature
At start up, the Living Image
®
software programs the CCD camera to maintain
the CCD at -90° C. If the camera power supply and ThermoCube chiller unit
remain on, the system maintains this temperature regardless of whether the
Living Image software is open or the computer is turned on.
■ To check the temperature of the CCD, click the Temperature square (red or
green) in the Camera Control Panel of the Living Image software (Figure
8.1)
.
