The HWS SLED temperature (H1:TCS-ITMX_HWS_SLEDTEMPERATUREMON) has never read back correctly. I tracked down the problem to a missing wire in a 15-pin cable.
Lo and behold, the thermistor was correctly wired to the SLED driver chassis and now reads back a sensible temperature. What's more, turning on the SLED with 100mA going through it shows a 2.5C increase in temperature - as expected.
However ... I could now finally check if the SLED temperature changed as I changed the setpoint temperature to drive the TEC on-board in the diode package.
Changing the setpoint temperature had no response on the actual temperature.
I want to get this fixed as it will increase the lifetime and output power of the diodes.
(All of this was repeated for SLED 2).
