Installation and Operation of the HTK-Series, TTK 600, XRK 900, and HPC 900 Chambers
DOC-M88-EXX268_V1_12.2016 57
To start using the chamber, follow these steps:
1. Open the water supply.
2. Switch on the controller and wait until the booting process is finished. Check for
messages and follow the instructions. If problems are encountered, check the Anton
Paar Manual for your controller.
´
If the chamber is configured, the ICS connects automatically to the controllers after
some minutes. Everything is now ready for operation.
3. Activate the COMMANDER plugin in DIFFRAC.MEASUREMENT CENTER.
4. Insert a new temperature (°C) and a ramp rate (°C/s) in the according fields, use mode
Set Temperature with Rate (the mode Set Temperature does NOT allow to use a
ramp rate but reaches the next temperature as fast as possible, which risks
uncontrolled heating and overshoot).
5. Press Set and wait until the temperature is reached (see figures below).
´
The example shows a heating chamber with Z-drive. It automatically corrects the
chamber height as function of temperature (height at 25 °C is 1 mm).
1. If this works successfully, you can start automatic measurements as described in your
temperature controller manual and in the manuals for DIFFRAC.SUITE [4] and
WIZARD [5].
2. Check box to wait for temperature reached before starting the scan.
