Setting up temperature controllers

Introduction

For a general introduction to temperature controllers, see An introduction to temperature controllers.

To add a temperature controller to a protocol, click the Add item button in the ribbon bar and select New output item > New temperature controller from the menu which appears.

The New output item menu option is only included if the protocol mode includes input/output.
The New temperature controller option will be disabled until the protocol includes at least one apparatus element.

What you need to do

Each of the steps below is a link, which you can click for more information.

 1.Enter the temperature controller's name 
 2.Specify the temperature controller's start temperature 
 3.Optionally set the temperature controller to ramp to a different temperature during the test (not available for the OPAD temperature controller) 
 4.Specify the maximum and minimum temperatures that the controller can assume 
 5.Specify whether the physical port used by the temperature controller is always the same, or whether it depends on the location of a movable zone 
 6.Specify the temperature controller's input/output port 
 7.For the OPAD 'thermal element' temperature controller, optionally set up a temperature cycle
