8.5 Thermoelectric Cooler
The Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) can be controlled from the "TEC" tab of the XCAP GUI, as
shown in Figure 11.
By default, the TEC will be enabled and set to 15 ͦ C . This is the optimum temperature of the
camera and the sensor temperature that the gain correction is performed. Raptor
recommends keeping the TEC set point at 15 ͦ C . The TEC set point can be set lower, but
there is a delta limit between the sensor and PCB temperature. Therefore, there will have to
be adequate heat sinking if wanting to use a lower set point. If imaging in an ambient around
room temperature, it may be difficult to hold a set point lower than 15 ͦ C .
The sensor temperature can also be read back by clicking "Update Temp".
