Make sure to select Stop Test before selecting End App. Stop Test turns off the instrument's
output.
Hazardous voltages may be present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical
shock that could cause injury or death, never make or break connections to the instrument
while the power is turned on. Turn off the equipment from the front panel or disconnect the
main power cord from the rear of the instrument before handling cables. Putting the
equipment into an output-off state does not guarantee that the outputs are powered off if a
hardware or software fault occurs.
Acquire the open-circuit potential (Eoc)
If you selected Eoc as the potential reference for the scan, then the open-circuit potential will be measured
immediately after starting the test. You are prompted by the test application, as shown in the next figure.
Figure 31: Prompt for Eoc measurement
If you select
Yes
, the instrument measures the open-circuit potential (Eoc) of your electrochemical cell. If you
select
No
, the test stops. After the Eoc is measured, the value is displayed in a prompt, as shown in the next
figure.
Figure 32: Eoc measurement displayed
If this value is acceptable, then select
Yes
to start the scan. If you select
No
, the test will stop. The measured
Eoc value is saved in the
eocBuffer
internal buffer of the instrument.
