    LakeShore Model 340 Temperature Controller

    +

    +This is the temperature controller for cryogenic applications and +should replace at least the Oxford & Neocera controllers at SINQ.

    +The control is handled by a seperate server process TECS (TEmperature +Control Server) and is initialized by default. If there is already an other +device selected, it must be deleted and TECS must be reinstalled: +

    +EVFactory del temperature
    +EVFactory new temperature tecs +
    +The sample environment device is selected automatically by a coding in the +plug of the sensor/heater cable(s). If this does not work (plugs without +coding or temporarely use of a wrong cable) you may select the device +with +
