Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidValueException	Must throw an InvalidValueException if an attempt is made to set a value that is outside the camera's valid temperature setpoint range.
PropertyNotImplementedException	Must throw exception if CanSetCCDTemperature is false.
NotConnectedException	If the device is not connected.
DriverException	An error occurred that is not described by one of the more specific ASCOM exceptions. Include sufficient detail in the message text to enable the issue to be accurately diagnosed by someone other than yourself.

Remarks

The driver should throw an InvalidValueException if an attempt is made to set SetCCDTemperature outside the valid range for the camera. As an assistance to driver authors, to protect equipment and prevent harm to individuals, Conform will report an issue if it is possible to set SetCCDTemperature below -280C or above +100C.

Note: Camera hardware and/or driver should perform cooler ramping, to prevent thermal shock and potential damage to the CCD array or cooler stack.
