type can be selected using the tabs at the top of the window. The available measurement types
are:

Open Circuit Potential
The Open Circuit Potential tab measures the resting potential between the working and reference
electrode over time.
(III)
Electrolysis
The Electrolysis tab applies a constant potential whilst measuring the current over time.
