Figure 27. Typical Chronoamperometric Current Response Waveform
firmware development package, the
M355_
ECSns_CapaTest
project implements a chronoamperometric
measurement.
The
AD5940Main.c
file contains an
AD5940AMPStructInit
()function that modifies the main
measurement parameters.
For the following example, only CH0 is used and all default
values are used. The resistor star model is connected to P5, as
per the examples described in the Cyclic Voltammetry Example
section and the EIS Example section.
Load the project in the preferred IDE and open a terminal
program. Compile and build the project and load the code onto
the
. Start the code execution and save the UART
data to a
.csv
file for processing.
The example code sends the following three arrays of results to
the UART at a 230,400 bps baud rate:
The first set of values includes the current
measurement results for the SE0 channel in μA.
The next set of values includes the voltage
measurement results for the SE0 channel in V.
The final set of values includes the voltage
measurement results for the RE0 channel in V.

M355_ECSns_Capatest
Example with
Three 1 kΩ Resistors
DC CURRENT EXAMPLE
The dc current is a standard electrochemical measurement.
Depending on the sensor type, a bias voltage is applied between
the reference and sense electrodes. The current output on the
sense electrode is measured.
M355_ECSns_
SingleWE
project implements a dc current measurement on
an electrochemical cell connected to CH0. The measurement
parameters can be configured in the
AD5940AMPStructInit()
function in the
AD5940Main.c
file. For testing purposes, connect
the 1 kΩ resistor star network to P5. Set the
Vzero
firmware
parameter to 1100 mV, and set the
SensorBias
firmware
parameter to 500 mV to apply a 500 mV bias across the 1 kΩ
resistor network. Ensure that the EVAL-ADuCM355QSPZ is
powered on and that the debugger is connected to the PC. Then
open the project in the preferred IDE, and compile and run the
example application. Open a terminal program to view the
results. The output is the current measured through the SE0 pin
on P5 of the EVAL-ADuCM355QSPZ (see Figure 29).
