indicated in the TEMP box. If you have an INPUT 2 SENSOR thermistor attached, its temperature
is indicated in the SECOND SENSOR box.
5.4 If all of the settings are satisfactory, you can turn off the computer and power supply, disconnect the
controller from the RS-232 port, and turn back on the power supply. The controller remembers its
last settings on EEPROM and will resume control based on that.
6.0 Custom Software
The controller does not specifically have to be used with the software that is provided. You could
also use commercial software such as LabVIEW from National Instruments. This might be useful if
you wanted to control a specific temperature profile over a particular amount of time. This is
accomplished by communicating through the RS-232 port of the computer using the command set
for the controller. The command set is given in Appendix F “Serial Communications.”
