The Oxford Instruments temperature controller and lambda controller exists in 3 different types at SINQ:
Create an ITC object:
makeobject te itc <terminal server> <port> (for ITC4 or ITC503) makeobject te lc <terminal server> <port> (for lambda controller)The name might be choosen differently, te is used by convention, and is also used by the scripts called with the samenv command.
Command Syntax Description
te (r) the sample temperature (pressure on lambda controller)
te sampleChan (w) the channel used for sample (1..3)
te controlChan (w) the channel for control
te dig1 (w) the number of digits after decimal point
te dig2 (must be configured on an ITC-4, is automatic
te dig3 on an ITC-503)
te t1 (r) temperature of channel 1
te t2 (r) temperature of channel 2
te t3 (r) temperature of channel 3
te htrMode (r) heater mode (0: manual, 1: auto, 2:auto needle valve)
te htr (r) heater output
te gasMode (w) gas mode (0: manual, 1: auto)
te gas (r) needle valve position
te setGas (w) set needle valve position
te autoGasLimit (w) when the controlled tempeature goes below this
value, gas is switched to manual mode, using the value
given by setGas. 1 K above this value, gas is
switched to auto mode
r: read-only, w: writeable parameter
