An Engineering Method for Resonant Microcantilever Using Double-Channel Excitation and Signal Acquisition Based on LabVIEW

Resonant microcantilevers have the advantages of ultra-high heating rates, analysis speed, ultra-low power consumption, temperature programming, and trace sample analysis when applied in TGA. However, the current single-channel testing system for resonant microcantilevers can only detect one sample...

description Resonant microcantilevers have the advantages of ultra-high heating rates, analysis speed, ultra-low power consumption, temperature programming, and trace sample analysis when applied in TGA. However, the current single-channel testing system for resonant microcantilevers can only detect one sample at a time, and need two program heating tests to obtain the thermogravimetric curve of a sample. In many cases, it is desirable to obtain the thermogravimetric curve of a sample with a single-program heating test and to simultaneously detect multiple microcantilevers for testing multiple samples. To address this issue, this paper proposes a dual-channel testing method, where a microcantilever is used as a control group and another microcantilever is used as an experimental group, to obtain the thermal weight curve of the sample in a single program temperature ramp test. With the help of the LabVIEW’s convenient parallel running method, the functionality of simultaneously detecting two microcantilevers is achieved. Experimental validation showed that this dual-channel testing system can obtain the thermogravimetric curve of a sample with a single program heating test and detect two types of samples simultaneously.
