Figure 40: Software: Monitor Panel. Ready to start
Once started,
the Cryocooler Status will change to ‘Cycle Running’ and the plate temperature
data is plotted on the graph.
During the cycle, the temperature of the plate is logged automatically in an encrypted format.
The data is stored in the file location shown on the Monitor panel. At the end of the cycle the
data can be used to create a report or analysed for quality control purposes
.
Note that the ‘Ready’ light on the freezer unit may remain on for a short time at the same time
