Jennifer Hritz | General | Optical Contacting | Hot plate PWM v2.4,5 Test #3 | My two corrections ended up being huge
overshoots. The drop off time (100°C)
is correct, but the default rate increase |

Jennifer Hritz | General | Optical Contacting | Hot plate PWM v2.6 Test #3 | The goal of "v2.X test #3" is
to heat the hot plate to 200°C over the
