30 eDAQ Potentiostats
With Chart software, Channel 2 (and Channel 4) are used to display
the applied potential signals, The settings for these channels are
controlled using the standard Input Amplifier dialog box, described in
the
Chart Software Manual which is installed as pdf files in the eDAQ
Documentation folder on your computer hard disk.
When using EChem software, always connect e-corder Input 1 to the
current signal (Picostat Iout), and e-corder Input 2 to the potential signal
(the Picostat Eout 1).
First Use
After you have installed the software, connected the e-corder and
computer as described in the booklet that is supplied with the
e-corder
system, and connected the Dual Picostat as described above, you are
ready to begin.
With the
e-corder
and Dual Picostat turned on, start the Chart software,
the Dual Picostat Status indicator (green) should light. Then attach the
10 Mohm test resistor (supplied with the Dual Picostat) to the electrode
leads so that the Working electrode lead is connected to one end of the
resistor, and Reference and Auxiliary electrode leads to the other) and
perform the test described in
Maintenance, page 37 .
Dual Picostat Control Window
With Chart software, the Dual Picostat Control window is accessed
from the Dual Picostat command in the Channel Function pop-up menu.
Figure 3–7 shows the control window which sets the various current
ranges and filtering options. With EChem software, the corresponding
controls are shown in
Figure 3–8 .
From the Chart software Channel 1 pop-up menu, select the ‘Dual
Picostat’ command, which accesses the control window,
Figure 3–7 .
The Dual Picostat control window allows you to preview the current
signal without actually recording the signal to the computer hard disk.
(If the menu says ‘Input Amplifier’ instead of ‘Dual Picostat’ then the
software has not recognised the Dual Picostat. Exit the software, check
all your connections and try again).
