>TEMP ( - )

DESCRIPTION

TEMP Gets the current CCD temperature from the current CCD controller and then tell the display task to display it. Also show the current temperature and mimics of the target temperature on the engineering display.

The current implementation uses two background tasks for historical reasons. This is messy, but will remain until effort is available for a rewrite.

There is a backgrond task TEMP-MON running which gets the current temperature from the CCD occasionally and displays this on the screen. Ths can be temporarily disabled by setting TEMP-HOLD true if a fast response time is needed from the CCD controller.
