QueryUserControlTemp()

Reads active temperature device selection (default, = "-1"). Or use option to read temp of non-active device by specifying device number as below. NOTE: No error checking to confirm that selected device is active.

   device == 0: "Custom User Value"
       Temp = ca_util.caget("11bmb:userHolder5.VAL") #read current slew scan temp record PV string
   
   device == 1: "Ambient"
       Temp = 298.
   
   device == 2: "N2 Cryostream (static)"  #Always use cryostat temp, regardless of in/out position
       Temp = Read11BMCryoStreamT()[1]
   
   device == 3: "N2 cryostream (autoload)"
       if Test11BMCryoStream():  #True if not OUT (then assumed at sample)
           Temp = Read11BMCryoStreamT()[1]
       else:  #False, at OUT position, RT assumed for sample
           Temp = 298.
   
   device == 4: "Hot Gas Blower"
       Temp = GetHotAirBlowerSettings()[1]+273.
   
   device == 5: "Helium Cryostat"
       Temp = GetCryostatT()[2]  #'0'=sensor1, '1'=sensor2, '2'=sensor3
   
   device == 6: "Omega Thermocouple Meter"
       Temp = ReadOmegaTempMeter() + 273. #reads Omega temp

   device == 7:
       devicename = "Stanford PTC-10"
       Temp = round(float(QPID_QueryValue(value=1)), 1) + 273. 
       # assumes PTC units are set in C, convert to K (Not Safe, need way to get units!)

SetUserControlTemp():

Override active temperature device selection, changes which device temperature value is reported in the log and file header.

NOTE: No error checking to confirm that selected device is active.

def SetUserControlTemp(device):    
   if device == 0:
       devicename = "Custom User Value" # returns whatever is in the 11bmb:userHolder5.VAL PV field
   if device == 1:
       devicename = "Ambient"
   if device == 2:
       devicename = "N2 Cryostream (static)"
