How do I set TEC temp on QHY8 Pro?

Been playing around in Neb with my newly-acquired 8Pro (Thanks Doug!).

I have the latest 5.5 Ascom, latest QHYCCD Ascom driver and QHY8Pro 64 driver, downloaded and installed today. Using Neb 2.2.3. All works fine.

I have been unable to locate any form of manual specifically for the QHY8Pro. I tried Help in Neb and nothing there, too. I can use either the ASCOM or QHY8PRO-specific cameras in Neb. I prefer to use the specific option, as it has a couple more control options and recognises the correct pixel size, etc. CCD temp readout shows about -23.4 this afternoon, but varying a little.

I have set the Neb preferences CCD point to -10 as a trial, but it is ignored by the TEC.

How do I go about setting a specific temp for the TEC to maintain, as everyone's been going on about the .1C temp regulation? Just curious as to how it's done.

Cheers,
