In this configuration the temperature of the air inside the cage is controlled, precisely in the position
where you have placed the NTC thermistor. It is strongly recommended to attach the NTC thermistor close to the
sample chamber, at right on the stage or on the top condenser (use a standard adhesive tape to fix the sensor on
those parts). The advantage of this solution is that you don’t have to manually stick the fine gauge thermocouple
into a reference well. This control mode is well suited for multi-
user tasks where users don’t want to take care to
correctly position the fine gauge thermocouple into a reference well inside the chamber incubator.
Tip
►
Advantages of this Control Mode are: fast experiment start up and no specific action required in multi
user applications.
Figure 24 b shows how to select Sample Feedback Mode.
