Lake Shore Model 332 Temperature Controller User’s Manual 

 

decibels (dB)

. A unit for describing the ratio of two powers or intensities, or the ratio of a power to a reference power; 

equal to one-tenth bel; if P

1

 and P

2

 are two amounts of power, the first is said to be 

n

 decibels greater, where 

n

 = 10 log

10

 (P

1

/P

2

).

1

 

degree

. An incremental value in the temperature scale, i.e., there are 100 degrees between the ice point and the boiling 

point of water in the Celsius scale and 180 degrees between the same two points in the Fahrenheit scale. 

demagnetization

. when a sample is exposed to an applied field (H

a

), poles are induced on the surface of the sample. 

Some of the returned flux from these poles is inside of the sample. This returned flux tends to decrease the net 
magnetic field strength internal to the sample yielding a true internal field (H

int

) given by: H

int

 = H

a

 – DM ,where M is the 

volume magnetization and D is the demagnetization factor. D is dependent on the sample geometry and orientation with 
respect to the field. 

deviation

. The difference between the actual value of a controlled variable and the desired value corresponding to the 

setpoint.

1

 

Dewar flask

. A vessel having double walls, the space between being evacuated to prevent the transfer of heat and the 

surfaces facing the vacuum being heat-reflective; used to hold liquid gases and to study low-temperature phenomena.

1

 

Invented by Sir James Dewar (1842 – 1923), a Scottish physical chemist. 

differential permeability

. The slope of a B versus H curve: µ

d

 = dB/dH. 

differential susceptibility

. The slope of a M versus H curve: 

χ

d

 = dM/dH. 

digital controller

. A feedback control system where the feedback device (sensor) and control actuator (heater) are joined 

by a digital processor. In Lake Shore controllers the heater output is maintained as a variable DC current source. 

digital data

. Pertaining to data in the form of digits or interval quantities. Contrast with analog data.

2

 

dimensionless sensitivity

. Sensitivity of a physical quantity to a stimulus, expressed in dimensionless terms. The 

dimensionless temperature sensitivity of a resistance temperature sensor is expressed as S

d

 = (T/R)(dR/dT) which is 

also equal to the slope of R versus T on a log-log plot, that is S

d

 = d lnR / d lnT. Note that the absolute temperature 

(in kelvin) must be used in these expressions. 

drift, instrument

. An undesired but relatively slow change in output over a period of time, with a fixed reference input. 

Note:

 Drift is usually expressed in percent of the maximum rated value of the variable being measured.

2

 

dynamic data exchange (DDE)

. A method of interprocess communication which passes data between processes and 

synchronized events. DDE uses shared memory to exchange data between applications and a protocol to synchronize 
the passing of data. 

dynamic link library (DLL)

. A module that contains code, data, and Windows resources that multiple Windows programs 

can access. 

electromagnet

. A device in which a magnetic field is generated as the result of electrical current passing through a helical 

conducting coil. It can be configured as an iron-free solenoid in which the field is produced along the axis of the coil, or 
an iron-cored structure in which the field is produced in an air gap between pole faces. The coil can be water cooled 
copper or aluminum, or superconductive. 

electrostatic discharge (ESD)

. A transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies at different electrostatic potentials 

caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field. 

error

. Any discrepancy between a computed, observed, or measured quantity and the true, specified, or theoretically 

correct value or condition.

2

 

excitation

. Either an AC or DC input to a sensor used to produce an output signal. Common excitations include: constant 

current, constant voltage, or constant power. 

Fahrenheit (°F) Scale

. A temperature scale that registers the freezing point of water as 32 °F and the boiling point as 

212 °F under normal atmospheric pressure. 

See

 Temperature for conversions. 

feedback control system

. A system in which the value of some output quantity is controlled by feeding back the value of 

the controlled quantity and using it to manipulate an input quantity so as to bring the value of the controlled quantity 
closer to a desired value. Also known as closed-loop control system.

1

 

four-lead

. measurement technique where one pair of excitation leads and an independent pair of measurement leads are 

used to measure a sensor. This method reduces the effect of lead resistance on the measurement. 

GaAlAs

. Gallium-aluminum-arsenide semiconducting material used to make the special Lake Shore TG family of diode 

temperature sensors. 

gamma

. A cgs unit of low-level flux density, where 100,000 gamma equals one oersted, or 1 gamma equals 10

–5

 oersted. 

gauss (G)

. The cgs unit for magnetic flux density (B). 1 gauss = 10

–4

 tesla. Named for Karl Fredrich Gauss (1777

 

 

1855) 

a German mathematician, astronomer, and physicist. 

gaussian system (units)

. A system in which centimeter-gram-second units are used for electric and magnetic qualities. 

general purpose interface bus (GPIB)

. Another term for the IEEE-488 bus. 

germanium (Ge)

. A common temperature sensing material fabricated from doped germanium to make the Lake Shore 

GR family of resistance temperature sensor elements.
