MATLAB® GUI for Lake Shore® Cryogenic Temperature Controller

Developed by Yuanqi Lyu (yuanqilyu@berkeley.edu) at UC Berkeley.

This is a simple GUI for Lake Shore temperature (heater) controllers using serial connection.

Tested on MATLAB® 2020b.
Tested on Lake Shore® Model 336 Cryogenic Temperature Controller; should also work for other Lake Shore® cryogenic temperature controllers with similar serial interface commands.

Edit Config.txt to match that of your hardware configuration, use tab to seperate columes. The N_Heater and N_TempSensor fields are numbers of heater outputs and temperature sensor inputs connected to your controller. In terms of Lake Shore 336, there could be maxima of 2 heaters and 4 temperature sensors. The Temp_LimLower and Temp_LimLower fileds are lower and upper bonds of your setup's working temperature range (in Kelvin).
```
  SerialPort_Name	COM5
  N_Heater	2
  N_TempSensor	2
  Log_Path	Data
  Temp_LimLower	0
  Temp_LimUpper	370
```
In MATLAB® command window, run command:
```
  CtrlGUI_LS336
```
In GUI, input correct serial port name (e.g. "COM1") and start the connection by turn on the switch.
