Rated 4 out of 5 by Ken M from Great Product - Weak Documentation Overall, I'm happy with the instrument. However, the learning curve is steep and I think very difficult if you were to attempt to use this equipment without the Platinum Monitor software. It is here where the documentation is quite weak. If I did not use the software it is doubtful I would have ever been able to get have gotten this controller to work correctly. Even with the software it took me a couple hours to get the controller working well for the mechanical on/off relay output and another couple hours with the PID solid state relay output. The takeaway is the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. First, the manual that accompanies the controller barely mentions the Platinum Monitor software. In my opinion, it should be required and this is coming from someone who has used CN76000 temperature controllers with no client software for many years. The reason for this is the CN76000 documentation is excellent. One other gripe is the USB interface uses a USB-A to USB-A connector in order to connect it to a PC running the Platinum Monitor software. That is a very uncommon cable which I had to order. This cable should have shipped with the unit.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ajka from Can't get it to work The unit came 3 months late. The manual as someone pointed out is very confusing. When I complained about the manual I was given a CNPT manual as that is slightly more detailed. However, I cannot get this to work for past 3 months now. The response from the technical team takes about 2-3 days at the earliest and weeks if I do not contact again. They respond by giving clue for one small thing that we would have already tried. One can only leave voice message to technical team. The system powers, but when the program is run it keeps giving a message either OPEN or RANGE, none of these options are given in the manual as error or what to do in this case. There are projects and deliverables that are hurting and I cannot seem to get someone to call me and walk me through the unit. It seems they are relying on prior knowledge of the users who have experience with Omega controllers. I downloaded the software but it cannot recognize that the unit is connected. I was told to check whether the firewall is blocking the recognition but that is not the case. I am unsure how long will I have to wait to get this to work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nathan S from Easy to use, works well Purchased this unit and it's predecessor. They're really easy to use and work well to control the 4 Amp cartridge heaters we're using in the lab. We used the auto tune PID feature, which took about 5 minutes. The user interface is a bit confusing, until you read the manual.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JohnnyC from Unit came 3 months late and it will not power up I ordered this unit back in November and got it end of March. When it finally came, it did not power up. Upon taking with technical support they were not able to find the problem so the unit needs to be returned to be repaired or exchanged, maybe in another 3 months. I am VERY dissapointed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by besselfunction from Good Unit. Much Bigger Than Expected This controller is a definite improvement over its predecessors. We have several CSC32s, and CSi32s in our lab, and this controller is much better. The software is much better than expected, and I definitely prefer using this controller for synthesis. The only issue is the size. This unit is monstrous compared to its predecessors. We use our controllers in fume hoods to control heating mantles, and this unit has to live outside the hood because of space constraints. If they could make this unit in the same form factor as the old units, it would have 5 stars easy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by PS01 from Poorly implemented power When turned on, this unit produces large amounts of radiated electronic noise (from the built in power supply on the internal controller) that interferes with nearby electronic equipment and devices on the same power circuit, it also causes unstable temperature readings. The USB and/or TC inputs do not appear to be properly isolated, as connecting these produce DC shifts in the temperature measurements. Replaced the controller with one with a (properly isolated) external 24v supply and the problem went away, but am left with an $800 controller I can't use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Surendranath Lab from Purchased for electrochemistry at temperature Excellent instrument, only issue I have is with the software, records time and temperature of the probe without an AM / PM indicator. Had to write a script to convert to military time.
