NOTE: Not available on Luca R cameras – always cooled to -20.
NOTE: (Classic & ICCD only)
1. When the temperature control is switched off the temperature of the sensor is gradually
raised to 0ºC to ensure no thermal stresses are set up in the sensor.
2. When closing down the program via ShutDown you must ensure that the temperature of the
detector is above -20ºC, otherwise calling ShutDown while the detector is still cooled will
cause the temperature to rise faster than certified.
