5. Control Menu
5.1 Start Run
This command (or F2) initiates the experiment. During runs, all menus are disabled
except the Control commands: Start Run, Hold/Continue Run, Reverse Scan and
Stop Run. After completion of the run, the menus are re-enabled according to the
present mode and data set.
After a single run, the graph is replotted according to the present Graph Options if
data are available (the Step and Cycle modes never produce data). The Filename
label that appears above the graph is cleared to indicate that the data are not yet
saved. For single runs, the data are not saved automatically; the Save Data command
in the File menu must be used.
5.2 Hold/Continue
Clicking this option (or F3) holds the experiment at a given potential. The experiment
can be restarted by clicking the option again.
5.3 Reverse Scan
The command (or F4) reverses the direction of the potential scan for CV
experiments. The data for experiments in which this function has been used should
be saved as text files (binary files will not save the revised potential values correctly).
5.4 Stop Run
This command (or F5) stops the experiment.
