gradient, and step duration.
Protocol capacity 10 protocols, with up to 9 steps each
Serial port RS232, 1200 or 9600 baud, 8 data bits 1
stop bit, no parity, no flow control.
9600 baud is mandatory for connection
with Ettan IPGphor 3 Control Software.
Temperature 15–32 °C
Relative humidity 0–70%*
* High relative humidity may result in condensation forming on the platform sur-
face. Runs conducted at a platform temperature of 20 °C and relative humidity
less than 70% will generally not cause condensation. Platform temperatures
greater than 20 °C allow for higher relative humidity without condensation. Envi-
ronments for which condensation occurs on the platform surface may vary. If
condensation occurs, the unit may require conditioned air to reduce tempera-
ture and relative humidity.
