Thermal Manager

The thermal manager is a tool used to control the thermal aspect of the setup. It is meant to regulate the temperature of the related unit declared in the setup. It is accessible from the icon or from the shortcut located in Measurement > Hardware Control and once the bench is initialized.



From this panel, the temperature can be regulated using the declared Thermal Controller. In order to work properly, several parameters can be used:

  • Temperature: Target to achieve using the regulation
  • Tolerance: Temperature delta allowed around the target.
  • Stabilization time: Time to wait into the accepted temperature intervals to declare the regulation as valid and continue the measurement process.
  • Timeout: Maximum time to wait before aborting the temperature regulation.

Once the parameters are set, the button can be clicked to launch the regulation. The button will be accessible to end prematurely the optimization. Once some optimization has been run, the button is available in order to release the temperature control via the thermal station.

Some advanced graph settings can be addressed with two other options:

  • Refresh each x seconds: Allow the user to set the refresh rate (minimum value is 1 second). Use the button to validate.
  • Autoscale: Allows the graph autoscale algorithme to be triggered when a new point is displayed.
