Inheco ThermoShake

This module comes in different varieties:

• Inheco ThermoShake RM (tested)

• Inheco ThermoShake (should have the same API as RM)

• Inheco ThermoShake AC (should have the same API as RM)

from pylabrobot.heating_shaking import HeaterShaker
from pylabrobot.heating_shaking import InhecoThermoShake

backend = InhecoThermoShake()
hs = HeaterShaker(backend=backend, name="HeaterShaker", size_x=0, size_y=0, size_z=0)
await hs.setup()

The setup() method is used to initialize the scale. This is where the backend will connect to the scale and perform any necessary initialization.

The HeaterShaker class has a number of methods for controlling the temperature and shaking of the sample. These are inherited from the TemperatureController and Shaker classes.

• set_temperature(): Set the temperature of the module.

• get_temperature(): Get the current temperature of the module.

• shake(): Set the shaking speed of the module.

• stop_shaking(): Stop the shaking of the module.

Shake indefinitely:

await hs.shake(speed=100)  # speed in rpm

Shake for 10 seconds:

await hs.shake(speed=100, duration=10)  # speed in rpm, duration in seconds

Get the current temperature:

await hs.get_temperature()  # get current temperature

23.2

Set the temperature to 37°C:

await hs.set_temperature(37)  # temperature in degrees C

Wait for the temperature to stabilize:

await hs.wait_for_temperature()
