Installation and Operation of the DCS 350 and DHS 1100 Chambers
DOC-M88-EXX268_V1_12.2016 77
8.5 Operation
This paragraph describes basic operation of the chamber. More advanced features, in-
cluding automatic alignment and temperature programming are discussed in upcoming
sections.
For small temperature changes or temperature settings close to the limits choose a small
ramping rate e.g. 1°/s or less to avoid over/undershoot of the sample temperature.
Uncorrected sample height (Z-Position) will lead to slightly wrong lattice parameters!
8.5.1 Activating the Chamber in DA VINCI
Contrary to chambers mounted in the diffractometer center, domed stages are not recog-
nized by the OpCo system and have to be activated manually.
To do this,
1. go to the DAVINCI plug-in of the measurement software by clicking the DAVINCI tab
in the line just below the menu bar.
´ The field concerning the sample stage is located in the bottom middle of the screen
(figure below). It should show the mounted sample stage and below it a field saying
Empty element if no temperature stage is selected.
