Using thermal conduction rather than convection (as in standard test chambers) the Device Under Test (DUT) is attached directly to a thermal plate, which is heated and cooled as required. This technique is particularly effective when an intervention such as adjusting or tuning the DUT is necessary while it undergoes a temperature cycling regime.
