Lake Shore 331 Temperature Controller¶
- class pymeasure.instruments.lakeshore.LakeShore331(adapter, **kwargs)¶
Bases:
Instrument
Represents the Lake Shore 331 Temperature Controller and provides a high-level interface for interacting with the instrument.
controller = LakeShore331("GPIB::1") print(controller.setpoint_1) # Print the current setpoint for loop 1 controller.setpoint_1 = 50 # Change the setpoint to 50 K controller.heater_range = 'low' # Change the heater range to Low controller.wait_for_temperature() # Wait for the temperature to stabilize print(controller.temperature_A) # Print the temperature at sensor A
- disable_heater()¶
Turns the
heater_range
tooff
to disable the heater.
- property heater_range¶
A string property that controls the heater range, which can take the values: off, low, medium, and high. These values correlate to 0, 0.5, 5 and 50 W respectively.
- property setpoint_1¶
A floating point property that controls the setpoint temperature in Kelvin for Loop 1.
- property setpoint_2¶
A floating point property that controls the setpoint temperature in Kelvin for Loop 2.
- property temperature_A¶
Reads the temperature of the sensor A in Kelvin.
- property temperature_B¶
Reads the temperature of the sensor B in Kelvin.
- wait_for_temperature(accuracy=0.1, interval=0.1, sensor='A', setpoint=1, timeout=360, should_stop=<function LakeShore331.<lambda>>)¶
Blocks the program, waiting for the temperature to reach the setpoint within the accuracy (%), checking this each interval time in seconds.
- Parameters:
accuracy – An acceptable percentage deviation between the setpoint and temperature
interval – A time in seconds that controls the refresh rate
sensor – The desired sensor to read, either A or B
setpoint – The desired setpoint loop to read, either 1 or 2
timeout – A timeout in seconds after which an exception is raised
should_stop – A function that returns True if waiting should stop, by default this always returns False
