Thermo-analytical instrument, in particular a differential scanning calorimeter, and a method for controlling the thermo-analytical instrument. Said thermo-analytical instrument comprising a sample position (201, 401) for receiving a sample (206), a reference position (202, 402), heating means associated with the sample position (201, 401) and the reference position (202, 402), means for setting a predetermined temperature program of nominal values of temperature versus time, a first sensor (407) for measuring a sample temperature ( T S ) at the sample position (201, 401), and further comprising a controller, which controls the heating power of said heating means, characterized in that the heating power of said heating means (203, 403, 204, 404) is controlled so as to cause said measured sample temperature ( T S ) to essentially follow said predetermined temperature program. |
