Temperature protection and power

Functionality overview

Temperature protection and power commands monitor and control thermal management on SIGNALlab 250-12. These commands provide temperature readings, fan control, and automatic thermal protection to prevent hardware damage from overheating.

Important notes

These commands are available only on SIGNALlab 250-12.
Temperature protection automatically throttles or shuts down outputs when thermal limits are exceeded (85 degrees Celsius).
Monitor temperature regularly during high-power operation.

Code examples
