IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller

Product catalog summary
Overview: The IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller by Stanford Research Systems is a high-accuracy instrument designed for pressure measurement and process automation. It supports a wide pressure range from 1000 Torr to ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and is compatible with various gauges including Bayard-Alpert ionization gauges, convection-enhanced Pirani gauges, and capacitance manometers.
Key Features:
  • Measurement Range: 1000 Torr to UHV, providing uninterrupted pressure readings.
  • Display: 4.7" back-lit touchscreen LCD capable of showing numeric, bar graph, and pressure vs. time formats.
  • Interfaces: Standard RS-232, with optional GPIB and Ethernet interfaces for web-based monitoring and control.
  • Process Control: Optional 8-channel process control with relays and TTL outputs for comprehensive system management.
  • Data Logging: Continuous data logging with real-time clock for precise time stamps, downloadable for further analysis.
Specifications:
  • Pressure Measurement: High accuracy with low-noise electrometer and autoranging capabilities.
  • Electrical Specifications: Electron emission current range from 10 µA to 12 mA, with precise control and stabilization.
  • Degas Function: Electron bombardment mode with adjustable power and time settings.
  • Analog I/O Ports: Four configurable ports with a range of ±12 VDC and 14-bit resolution for inputs.
Additional Features:
  • Gauge Auto-Start: Automatically activates ion gauges based on preset pressure levels.
  • Safety Features: Built-in filament protection and overpressure protection with programmable trip points.
  • Ease of Use: Intuitive menu-based interface with interactive help and dedicated front-panel controls.

IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller-1

Ion Gauge Controller IGC100 — Ion gauge controller with graphical display IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller · 1000 Torr to UHV range · Highly accurate, stable controller · Pressure vs. time curves The IGC100 is a high-accuracy controller that offers pressure measurement and process automation never before available in a single instrument. It measures pressure from Bayard-Alpert ionization gauges, convection-enhanced Pirani gauges, and capacitance manometers, providing uninterrupted pressure readings from 1000 Torr to UHV. · 8-channel process control (opt.) The IGC100 has a touchscreen display that can present data in a variety of formats including pressure vs. time curves. There are built-in relays for process control, and several multipurpose input/output ports. The IGC100 is also fully web-ready. Now you can monitor and control your vacuum system from the lab, your home, or anywhere in the world. · GPIB and Web interfaces (opt.) Accurate Measurements · 4 analog input/output ports · RS-232 interface The IGC100 is designed to be a highly accurate, stable controller. Its low-noise, autoranging electrometer delivers high-accuracy pressure readings into the UHV range. A lownoise, direct current (DC) supply powers the filament and establishes the emission current. The IGC100’s precision electronics eliminate controller-to-controller variations and the measurement uncertainties (up to 15 %) associated with traditional instruments. Graphical Touchscreen Display · IGC100 ... $1495 (U.S. list) Stanford Research Systems The IGC100 has a large, back-lit LCD touchscreen display — new to ion gauge controllers. The instrument shows large numeric readings from each gauge (easily read from across the room), and can also display readings in bar graph or trend phone: (408)744-9040 www.thinkSRS.com

format. The screen is updated twice a second, and results are presented in units of Torr, mbar, bar, Pa or microns. Numeric readout, bar graph and trend plots The IGC100 also displays pressure versus time curves (chart recordings), allowing you to follow pump down and venting cycles and to keep track of your vacuum system's performance. Pressure vs. time display IGC100 data is continuously logged into memory. There is a real-time clock with date for precise time stamps. In addition to pressure readings, you can log the ADC voltages and relay activity. Data can be viewed on the IGC100 or downloaded...

IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller-3

IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller Additionally, there are twelve dedicated TTL inputs for triggering functions like gauge on/off, filament on/off, degas, ion gauge lockout, etc. All process control events are time stamped and recorded in memory, and can be viewed at any time. User-programmable audible alarms and text messages can provide advance warning of potential problems. Password protection is provided to keep casual users from accidentally altering important parameters. Gauge Auto-Start SRS Gauges The IGC100 can be set to automatically turn on an ion gauge once a Pirani gauge has reached a preset...
