An oven controlled with Matlab

I am looking for an oven (~10 cubic feet) that can be controlled with Matlab. The application is testing image sensor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would suggest looking for something that has a virtual COM port (a USB port pretending to be a serial connection).

I'm not familiar with what kind of oven you're looking for, your budget, or your geographical location (remember this is an international website). On top of that I have no idea about what kinds of things you want to do, what you mean by 'controlled', but, more importandly, I don't have any expertise in ovens.

Is there something like a 'maker space' in your vicinity? You could explain your project there and get more targeted advice.

Hi Rik,

A budget in the range of $10,000 to 20,000 would work. I'm in California. By saying "controlled", I mean I could turn ON/OFF or set the oven's temperature with Matlab.

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the link. It looks like a household appliance. Sorry for not providing the details. I am looking for a scientific one for my laboratory. The temperature range should be from room temp. to 70C.

I notice that the Quincy devices hold temperature to +/- 1C. For some processes that might not be accurate enough. I would also have concerns about consistency of temperature across the oven: less so for the convection ovens but my concern would increase again if bulky objects were put in the oven potentially blocking air flow.

... I can imagine applications where you could want ovens that had their heating surfaces divided into segments, each individually controlled by the hardware, so as to maintain consistency...
