TEC Configuration Software for TEC-Family Peltier Drivers (FW ≥ v6.00)
(free of charge)
User-friendly Monitoring, Control and Configuration Management of TEC-Family Peltier Controllers
Included for free – always:
- Full configuration and monitoring of TEC Controllers
- Auto-tuning and graphical data visualization
- Tooltips and intuitive flowchart UI
From firmware version 6.20 this Meerstetter TEC Controller software also offers pay-for software features that make the use of your TEC Controller even more versatile. By loading the firmware version 6.20 onto your device (or by buying a new one with FW v6.20) you get all features for the first 150 operating hours as a free trial. After this trial period, you can buy your favorite feature(s) on the specific product page(s):
- Temperature estimator: Accurate tempearture at sample due to estimating model.
- Cascade temperature control: Better temperature transition by using additional PID loop
- Driver channel splitting: Split-up each bidirectional output channel into two unipolar heating or cooling only channels.
Detailed Description
The TEC Configuration Software is available free of charge. It is a powerful Windows based tool to which Meerstetter TEC Controllers can be connected via USB (FTDI) and Ethernet.
- Split-up each bidirectional channels into two unipolar heating or cooling only channel
- Monitoring of operating parameters like temperature, current or voltage
- Charting: Diagram for object temperature, current, PID control variables and everything more in high temporal resolution
- Logging / export of operation parameters to an Excel file
- PID auto tuning: convenient way to find the optimal PID parameters for the thermal model
- Lookup table / scripting for temperature profiles in stand alone operation of TEC Controller
- Error management and analysis, safety limitations, etc.
- And many more features...
This Configuration Software is ideal for laboratory setups, product evaluation and commissioning. In conjunction with the comprehensive set of error codes and built-in descriptions, it facilitates diagnosis and debugging.
The software also supplies a user-friendly interface for maintenance (e.g. firmware upgrades) and device calibration.
