Chapter 3: Installation

Reboot Your Computer after Software Installation
Reboot your computer when the Gamry Setup program is done. The Setup program normally offers you the
opportunity to do so. Following Setup, you may not be able to use your LPI1010 until the drivers are loaded.
Running the Framework
Many newer electrochemical applications do not run as an application within Gamry Instruments’ Framework
software. This is true of all applications that use Gamry Instruments’ Toolkit for instrument control. Gamry
Instruments’ Framework software is the main application software for performing routine analysis associated for
electrochemical measurements. There are other software programs such as Resonator that are stand-alone
programs. Programs that you develop using our toolkits will fall into the stand-alone software category.
The Framework Instrument Manager is useful in organizing the instruments in the system. The Framework also has
a Calibration program that is used to calibrate instruments connected to the system.
Framework Device Status Bar
By default, the Gamry Framework shows a Device Status Bar under its main menu (see Figure 3-2). If you do not
see the Device Status Bar when you run the Gamry Framework, it has been disabled in the Framework
Options
menu.
Instruments that are connected to the computer appear on this bar. The round indicator associated with each
device shows its status:
Green The device is available to run experiments
Orange The device is currently running an experiment
White The device is connected to the system but is not usable. This is generally the result of a mismatch
between the Framework software and the device’s firmware. You can use the Gamry Instrument
Manager to fix the mismatch.
The screen capture below shows a Framework screen with three USB instruments connected.
Device driver installation may not occur until a while after the Windows
®
Desktop appears. On a
slow computer, or a busy computer with lots of active applications, the delay before driver installation can be
a minute or more.
