6. Standard Curves Some types of sensors behave in a very predictable manner and a standard temperature response curve can be created for them Standard curves are a convenient and inexpensive way to get reasonable temperature accuracy Sensors that have a standard curve are often used when interchangeability is important Some individual sensors are selected for their ability to match a published standard curve and sold at a premium but in general these sensors do not provide the accuracy of a calibrated sensor For convenience the Model 332 has several standard curves included in firmware CalCurveTM The CalCurve service provides the user with a convenient way get the temperature response curve from Lake Shore calibrated sensors into instruments like the Model 332 It can be performed at the factory when calibrated sensors and instruments are ordered together The factory installed CalCurve option is Model 8001 332 and should be ordered with the calibrated sensor A CalCurve can be done in the field when additional or replacement sensors are installed Curve data is loaded into some type of non volatile memory that is installed into the instrument by the user In the case of the Model 332 the curve is loaded into a non volatile memory that can be installed into the instrument The field installed version is a Model 8002 05 332 and should be ordered with the calibrated sensor Customers that have a PC compatible computer with an RS 232C or IEEE

44. 470 SD Diode Sensor Leads Cathode SE D Anode Four Lead Sensor Measurement All sensors including both two lead and four lead can be measured with a four lead technique The purpose of a four lead measurement is to eliminate the effect of lead resistance on the measurement If it is not taken out lead resistance is a direct error when measuring a sensor Four Lead Platinum Four Lead In a four lead measurement current leads and voltage leads are run separately up to the sensor With separate leads there is little current in the voltage leads so their resistance does not enter into the measurement Resistance in the current leads will not change the measurement as long as the voltage compliance of the current source is not reached When two lead sensors are used in four lead measurements the short leads on the sensor have an insignificant resistance Installation 3 5 Lake Shore Model 332 Temperature Controller User s Manual 3 5 6 Two Lead Sensor Measurement There are times when crowding in a cryogenic system forces users to read sensors in a two lead configuration because there are not enough feedthroughs or room for lead wires If this is the case plus voltage to plus current and minus voltage to minus current leads are attached at the back of the instrument or at the vacuum feedthrough SE Two Lead a Diode y The error in a resistive measurement is the resistance of the lead wire run with curr

AutoTune feature For additional information about the algorithm refer to Paragraph 2 8 Before initiating Auto Tune the cooling system must be set up properly with control sensor and heater making it capable of closed loop control AutoTune works only with one control loop at a time and does not set the manual heater power output or heater range The control sensor must have a valid temperature response curve assigned to it An appropriate heater range must also be determined as described in Paragraph 2 7 1 Choosing good initial control parameters by experimenting with Manual PID tuning can speed up the AutoTune process If no initial parameters are known start with the default values of P 50 and 20 It is better to set an initial P value that causes the system to be more active than desired Starting with a low P value can increase the time and number of attempts required to tune There are three AutoTune modes available They result in slightly different system characteristics Auto Pl is recommended for most applications Auto P Sets only the P parameter value and D are set to 0 no matter what the initial values are This mode is recommended for systems that have very long lag times or nonlinearity that prevents stable Pl control Expect some overshoot or undershoot of the setpoint and stable temperature control below the setpoint value Auto PI Sets values for both P and parameters D is set to zero This mode is recommended fo
