How do I automate temperature control on Cary 60? (ADL code)

Does anyone have ADL code that they could share please (or pointers as to how) to control a Cary 60 to do an automated temperature ramp using the Peltier accessory? I'd like to do stepwise increases in temperature between a start and stop temperature with a hold (equilibration) time between steps, or a linear ramp if this isn't possible. This is the kind of experiment people use for DNA melting.

The Cary 60 doesn't come with the thermal application that the more expensive models do, but can do all the steps necessary - change the temperature, read the current block temperature, include a wait time - so I see no reason why this shouldn't be possible using ADL with the Cary 60.

Thanks in advance for your help
