Heat can be an issue in a MultEchem System. This subject is discussed in detail in Appendix E of this
manual.
Front Panel Customization
The Interface 1000 supports a flexible labeling scheme for identifying potentiostats in a multiple
potentiostat (MultEChem) system. A clear window in the plastic overlay on the Interface 1000’s front panel
lets you create your own identification of each potentiostat in a system.
Every Interface 1000 is shipped with its serial number in this label location. More user-friendly labels can
also be displayed, such as Pstat1, Pstat2, Pstat3. Whimsical names such as “Rusty Dog” can also be
displayed in this area. See Chapter 4 for more details.
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. Inside paragraphs, references to computer files and Windows folders are
capitalized and placed within quotes, for example: “C:\MYGAMRYDATA\CV.DTA” and
“GAMRY.INI”.
The term Interface 1000 is generally written in place of the more correct but awkward term Interface 1000
Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA.
