This repository contains the driver code and "default" Midas frontend for the Lakeshore 336 cryogenic temperature controller.

The manual can be found under the following link: https://www.lakeshore.com/docs/default-source/product-downloads/336manual.pdf?sfvrsn=fa4e3a80_12 A copy of the manual has been placed in this repository.

Requirements

Requires a Midas installation with the environment variable MIDASSYS pointing to the built Midas artifacts and headers.

Build

Clone this repository, enter the cloned directory, and then build via CMake.

cmake -S "$(pwd)" -B <directory-to-build-in> -DBUILD_FRONTEND=ON
cmake --build <directory-to-build-in> --clean-first -- -j8

Run

/build/driver/lakeshore_336_fe -e flame

Including in Custom Frontend

To include this driver in a custom frontend, you should ensure the environment variable MIDASSYS points to your system install and include a snippet in your CMakeLists.txt similar to the following:

# If the path to the lakeshore_336 repository is outside of the frontend
# repository, you also need to provide a location for the lakeshore_336
# artifacts as a second argument to `add_subdirectory`
# e.g. `./device/lakeshore_336`
add_subdirectory(
    <path-to-lakeshore_336-repository>
)
