The Interface 1000 Customization Label
Introduction to the Interface 1000 Customization Label
Modern electrochemical testing often involves replicate tests designed to measure or minimize the effect of
irreproducibility in the measurements. Battery tests are a good example, where multiple tests of a particular
battery composition and/or construction are generally required. Multiple potentiostat systems are often used
to speed up the testing process. If the multiple potentiostats can be randomly located in the lab, potentiostat
identification can be a problem. You may need to know “Is the potentiostat to the left of my host computer
the second or third potentiostat in the system?
The Interface 1000 includes a customization label that makes each unit visually unique. This allows you to
know exactly which potentiostat will be used for each test. By default, each Interface 1000 ships with a label
containing the instrument’s Serial Number (S/N XXXXX). You can easily place other labels in the instrument’s
Customization Label area. In a system containing eight potentiostats, the potentiostats might be labeled
Pstat
1, Pstat 2, Pstat 3, ... Pstat 8 .
Insert simple paper labels in an area behind the clear plastic outer layer of the front panel. The paper is
behind the plastic, so it is not affected by the lab environment. Best of all, you can edit or print the labels so
personal labels, like
Bob’s Stat , are also possible.
There are several versions of the Interface 1000. If you upgrade from an Interface 1000B to an Interface
1000A, you may also remove the E label from the top, and replace it with an B.
