Pin 3 must be connected to ADC channel 8.
The pX1000 installation can be tested using Nova (version 1.4 or higher), as explained in
Section 14 of this document.
Note: the pX1000 is NOT supported in the GPES software.
Important: the combination of the pX1000 with the ECN is not possible.

– Calibration of the FRA32M and FRA2 module with Nova
The procedure described below is explained for the Nova software (version 1.8 or higher).
Both the FRA32M and the FRA2 module need to be adjusted to the Autolab
potentiostat/galvanostat.
Note: the FRA2 module is supplied with a specific calibration file (FRA2CAL.INI) which
contains the calibration data for the module itself. For the FRA32M, the calibration data is
stored on the on-board memory of the module.
In the rest of this section, both the FRA32M and the FRA2 modules will be referred to as
FRA module, except when specifically mentioned as FRA32M or FRA2.
Follow the steps described in this section to calibrate the FRA module after installation in
the Autolab:
1.
Install the Nova software.
2.
The FRA2CAL.INI calibration file is delivered with the new FRA2-module. The
Autolab number must be changed to the serial number of the connected Autolab
(i.e. AUT83185, see rear side of Autolab). Open the FRA2CAL.INI with Notepad
and locate the
[System]
header in the file (see Figure 19). Change the
highlighted
AUT70000
number to the serial number of the instrument. Save the
FRA2CAL.INI file and exit Notepad.

3.
Connect the instrument and switch it on.
4.
Open the Hardware setup of Nova (Tools – Hardware setup). Adjust the hardware
setup if necessary. For the FRA2 module, click the
button to add the
