A cryogenic programmable intelligent temperature controller.

Features

• Measures and controls temperatures to below 250 mK with a precision of 0.1 mK (24 bit A to D resolution).
• Heater output up to 80 W per channel.
• Software switchable between true constant voltage source or current source for sensor excitation, preventing self-heating and allowing for high quality measurements at the lowest temperature.
• Supports all standard cryogenic sensors (ruthenium oxide, cernox, silicon diodes, platinum, thermocouple and RhFe).
• Base system includes a single temperature sensor input and 80 W heater output for precise temperature PID control.
• Easy pc connection to your Mercury instrument via multiple remote ports.
• The MercuryiTC has also a number of pre-configured control modes e.g., Heliox control, Lambda Fridge control, Rotator control, etc.
• Rear panel connections.
