Hi,
I have the following Problem: One of the Analog outputs of our Lakeshore Model336 Temperature Controller is connected to a different controller (ICEoxford), which allows us to mechanically open a valve on our cryostat. Now we have some software to control the manual output (and we can also change it manually on the Lakeshore), however, we are looking for a method, to adjust the Output percentage directly using the Commands (i.e in a python script, or via NI MAX).
So far, we figured out, that we can read the output percentage using the 'AOUT?' query. However, what we have not figure out yet, is how to change the Analog Output Data, since there is no 'AOUT' command listed in the manual.
Any help on how to adjust the output percentage would be much appreciated.
Best,
Toni

Okay, I found that the 'MOUT?' command works instead of the AOUT? query.

Hello Toni,
Yes, the Model 336 does not support the AOUT? command. The ANALOG command is used to configure the Analog Output and the MOUT command is how you set the output percentage. When using this to control the output, it is recommended that you have the Output configured for Open Loop operation so that the output value is not affected by the PID Control
