Framework with Three Potentiostats and One Running Test
The Interface 1000 (IFC 01004) in this system is shown with a green indicator because it is installed and ready
to run. The Reference 600 labeled My Ref600 has a red indicator because it is recording the EIS spectrum
shown on the screen. The Reference 600 labeled Jims Ref600 has a white indicator, showing it is plugged in
but cannot be used. This is an indication of a version mismatch between firmware and instrument.
Types of Interface 1000 instruments
The Interface 1000 comes in four models, the Interface 1000T, Interface 1000B, Interface 1000A, and
Interface 1000E. You can purchase an upgrade from one version to the next. To use the upgraded Interface
1000, enter a new authorization code using Instrument Manager. See Appendix G for a full list of each
model’s capabilities.
You can use Gamry’s Instrument Manager Application to make changes to the configuration of your Interface
1000 system. Find the application through the
Options menu in the Gamry Framework.
The Instrument Manager is used to:

Rename potentiostats

Delete potentiostats that are not currently connected to the computer

Select the order in which potentiostats appear in menus

Upgrade the potentiostat model from one Interface 1000 to another

Update firmware within potentiostats
Authorization Codes and Label
If you upgrade your Interface 1000 potentiostat or you need to make a correction to your authorization codes,
use the Framework Instrument Manager.
If you change the USB port used to connect the Interface 1000 to your computer, the Windows Device
Manager interprets an Interface 1000 on a new USB port as a new Interface 1000.
