The Front Panel
The front panel of the Dual Picostat is shown in Figure 3–1 .
Electrode Connectors
The electrode connectors of the Dual Picostat accept the cables that go
to the Working, Auxiliary and Reference electrodes. These connectors
also provide connections for the lead wire shields which protect the
signals in the cable wiring from electrical interference (noise pickup).
The pin assignments of the Dual Picostat electrode connectors are
shown in
Figure 3–2 . The Working and Reference electrode leads have
coaxial shields which are maintained at the respective electrode
potentials to minimise lead capacitance.
