Gamry Instruments EIS Box, Operator'S Manual, Page: 16 / 52

Introduction
16
The EIS Box was developed to increase the throughput of your impedance testing program. Under the control
of an external computer, the EIS Box connects one cell at a time, which makes an electrochemical
measurement on that cell.
The EIS Box has been integrated into all Gamry Instruments’ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
applications that run under the Gamry Framework. It allows many of the EIS measurement applications to
increase their throughput by testing multiple cells in a single test run.
The Gamry Instruments Electrochemical Toolkit allows you to control the EIS Box using a library of software
routines. You can find examples of such routines after you install the Electrochemical Toolkit software.
Software and Applications
The EIS Box supports Gamry Instruments’ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy software under the
Framework system.
Typical applications for the EIS Box include:
•
Research in electrochemical storage and conversion, and
•
Battery and electrochemical capacitor evaluation.
Notational Conventions
In order to make this manual more readable we have adopted some notational conventions. These are used
throughout this manual and all other Gamry Instruments manuals:
•
Numbered lists. A numbered list is reserved for step-by-step procedures, with the steps always
performed sequentially.
•
Bulleted list. The items in a bulleted list, such as this one, are grouped together because they represent
similar items. The order of items in the list is not critical.
• File names and folders. References to computer files and Windows
®
folders are shown in Courier font,
for example:
C:\MYGAMRYDATA\CV.DTA
and
GAMRY.INI
