Appendix A. CR3000 Program that
Controls the Heater

This program applies power to the NR01 heater using the SW12V relay
controller and the pulse width modulation instruction (PWM ()).

Rather than using 0 degrees C as a set point for the heater, the program below
uses the dew point value. The datalogger calculates dew point using the
relative humidity (RH) measurements provided by the HMP45C
Temperature/Relative Humidity probe. Enter 0 degrees C as the set point for
the heater when a temperature/RH probe is not used.

The algorithm turns the heater on/off at 4 Hz. The duty cycle of the pulse is
changed depending on how close the radiometer body temperature is to the
dew point temperature. At or below the dew point, the duty cycle is 100%. It
drops off linearly to 20% until the body temperature is 5 degrees C above the
dew point. For body temperatures greater than 5 degrees C above the dew
point, the duty cycle continue to drop linearly, but with a different slope, until
0% at 33 degrees C above the dew point. If necessary, the user can change the
two duty-cycle slope transitions.
