unsigned int WINAPI CoolerON(void)
Description
Switches ON the cooling. On some systems the rate of temperature change is controlled
until the temperature is within 3º of the set value. Control is returned immediately to the
calling application.
Parameters
NONE
Return
unsigned int
DRV_SUCCESS

NOTE:
The temperature to which the detector will be cooled is set via SetTemperature. The temperature
stabilization is controlled via hardware, and the current temperature can be obtained via
GetTemperature. The temperature of the sensor is gradually brought to the desired temperature to
ensure no thermal stresses are set up in the sensor.
Can be called for certain systems during an acquisition. This can be tested for using
GetCapabilities.
