The set_temp alias will set the temperature setpoint.
The syntax for the set_temp alias is:
set_temp value
The temperature can be driven (in the same way as any motor) using the drive
command (i.e. drive temp
value). However, changing the temperature in this
manner will not exit from the drive until the temperature
gets within tolerance of the setpoint. If you wish to
simply change the setpoint WITHOUT
waiting until the temperature is within tolerance of the setpoint, use
the set_temp alias.
NOTE that the following information is not required to understand the
usage of the command but is included for completeness:
The alias definition is:
logfileoutput off; method temp set_setpoint
d %1; method temp get_setpoint; logfileoutput on; comment "The
temperature setpoint was set to @(methodreal0)" title "Setting the
temperature setpoint"
This alias first turns off output to the logfile (logfileoutput off),
calls the set_setpointmethod
on the temperature driver, calls the get_setpointmethod
on the temperature driver to read the setpoint from the controller,
turns the output to the logfile back on (logfileoutput on),
and finally issues a comment which reports this
stored value.
