Introduction
This is the Operation Manual for the BAS 100B/W Electrochemical Workstation. It is the
fourth generation of a microprocessor-based Electrochemical Analyzer series that started
in 1983. The BAS 100B/W uses the latest advances in Personal Computer (PC)
technology to increase the efficiency and versatility of the user interface. The MS
Windows interface allows instrument control and data storage and processing, together
with data presentation on the PC monitor, laser printer or digital plotter. These functions
are shown in a block diagram in Figure 1-1.
