TAAS SCHP instructions

Al Howard installed the Small Chopped Hot Plate (SCHP) on TAAS and gave this rundown of how to use it.

1) turn on the motion control box on the TAAS E-rack.
2) turn on the AC Power to the hot-plate, located on the hot plate stage (the tub must be removed).
3) Open SCHP1.vi to control the motion of the SCHP.
           - Press "Home" and wait for motion to complete
           - Load "Mid-position 144X 144Z" to center the plate.
           - the plate has a full range of motion of 288mm in X and 288mm in Z.
4) Open "Temperature control.exe" to control plate temperature.
           - make sure port is set to COM7, and hit "Open COM Port"
           - enter desired plate temperature
           - plate has range of temperature of ~23 C (room temperature) to 200 C.
 
For shutting down, the only essential thing is to turn off the AC power to the hot plate (located on the SCHP stage, under the tub).
