Returns

String

initalize_oven(wait=True)

The manufacturer recommends a 3 second wait time after after initializing the oven. The optional “wait” variable should remain true, unless the 3 second wait time is taken care of on the user end. The wait time is split up in the following way: 1 second (built into the write function) + 2 seconds (optional wait time from this function (initialize_oven)).

Returns

None

property mode

Get the operating mode of the oven.

Returns

Tuple(String, int)

run()

Starts temperature forcing. The oven will ramp to the setpoint.

Returns

None

property setpoint

Control the setpoint of the oven in Celsius. (float) “setpoint” will not update until the “run()” command is called. After setpoint is set to a new value, the “run()” command must be called to tell the oven to run to the new temperature.

Returns

None

stop()

Stops temperature forcing on the oven.

Returns

None

property temperature

Get the current temperature of the oven via built in thermocouple. Default unit is Celsius, unless changed by the user.

Returns

float

write(command)

Write a string command to the instrument appending write_termination.

Parameters

• command – command string to be sent to the instrument

• kwargs – Keyword arguments for the adapter.
