sample controlled technique (adj.)

in thermal analysis
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.12302
Applied to the technique to indicate that a property of the sample is used either continuously or discontinuously to control the sample heating. Without this term, it is assumed that the experiment is following a controlled-temperature program.
Note: The generic term for all TA techniques making use of such feedback is sample-controlled TA (SCTA), whereas specific names will be of the form sample-controlled TGA (SC-TGA), etc.
