In the case an electrical Vici valve is detected, the Dialogue Elite software 
automatically shows the presence of the electrical valve in the device set-
tings window (EC device) and valve control buttons will appear in the po-
tentiostat window.

Always restart the potentiostat (by re-powering via the mains switch on 
the rear panel) when connecting the valve for correct initialization of an 
electrically-actuated Vici valve.
