Lab::Moose::Instrument::OI_ITC503 - Oxford Instruments ITC503 Intelligent Temperature Control

VERSION

version 3.920

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Lab::Moose;
# Constructor
my $itc = instrument(
    type => 'OI_ITC503',
    connection_type => 'LinuxGPIB',
    connection_options => {pad => 10},
);
# Get temperature
say "Temperature: ", $itc->get_value();
# Set heater to AUTO
$itc->itc_set_heater_auto( value => 0 );
# Set PID to AUTO
$itc->itc_set_PID_auto( value => 1 );
            
          

DESCRIPTION

By default, two temperature sensors are used: Sensor 2 for temperatures below 1.5K and sensor 3 for temperatures above 1.5K. The used sensors can be set in the constructor, e.g.

            

              
              
my $itc = instrument(
    ...
    high_temp_sensor => 2,
    low_temp_sensor => 3
);
            
          

The "get_value" and "set_T" functions will dynamically choose the proper sensor.

itc_set_PID

            

              
              
$itc->itc_set_PID(
    p => $p,
    i => $i,
    d => $d
);
            
          

itc_set_heater_sensor

            

              
              
$itc->itc_set_heater_sensor( value => 1 );
            
          

Value must be one of 1, 2, or 3.

itc_set_PID_auto

            

              
              
$itc->itc_set_PID_auto(value => 1); # enable
$itc->itc_set_PID_auto(value => 0); # disable
            
          

itc_set_max_heater_voltage

            

              
              
$itc->itc_set_max_heater_voltage(value => $voltage);
            
          

itc_set_heater_output

            

              
              
$itc->itc_set_heater_output(value => $output); # value from 0 to 0.999
            
          

itc_T_set_point

            

              
              
$itc->itc_T_set_point(value => $temp);
            
          

            

              
              
$itc->heat_sorb(
    max_temp => $max_temp, # default: 30 K
    max_temp_time => ..., # default: 20 * 60 seconds
    middle_temp => ..., # default: 20 K
    middle_temp_time => ..., # default: 200 seconds
    target_time => ..., # default: 0.3 K
    sorb_sensor => ..., # default: 1
    sample_sensor => ..., # default: 2
);
            
          

Heat the sorb of a 3-He cryostat (like OI HelioxVL). The sorb temperature is first set to middle_temp for middle_temp_time seconds, then to max_temp for max_temp_time seconds. Then the heater is switched off and the routine returns when the temperature at sample_sensor has dropped below target_time.
