NtGCM User's Manual: 1.1 (High Pressure High Temperature Laser based) Nanotube Growth Chamber Monitor

This manual describes the installation and use of NtGCM software. NtGCM is software designed for monitoring the growth of nanotubes in a high temperature and high pressure chamber using a laser*. NtGCM software monitors a dozen dierent parameters that are important to understanding the growth of the nanomaterials including the laser input power, the temperature at eight separate locations inside and outside the growth chamber, as well as the pressure and ow rate of the gaseous media that control the environment in the chamber. The measurements are all made in real time. The program features a robust user account management layer and a rich data display manager that allows plotted data, displayed units and other parameters to be changed on the y for the operator's convenience.
