  • Abstract
    A simple, low-cost oven suitable for characterization of small components over the commercial temperature range (0-70 degrees C) is described. The oven has been applied to the thermal characterization of light-emitting diodes used in an instrument design. The prototype oven system hardware includes a PC-instrument digital multimeter, an interface with power supplies, a heated plate, and a small refrigerator. Oven control, data acquisition, and data analysis are all performed using the software package ASYST.<>
