Blue side temperature controller

Index

Hardward description and basics

The blue side temperature controller is a Lakeshore 336.

This is the manual.

This controller is dedicated to the control of the CCD temperatures, using a closed loop controlled by input A with output on output2.

Configuration

Inputs A Blue CCD temperature
  B Blue Camera Barrel
  C Blue Camera Shutter
  D1 Invar plate
  D2 Blue Cold Strap bot
  D3 Blue Cold strap top
