Define the Scan Settings
You can specify the scan rate in units of millivolts per second. The scan rate, defined as the change
of the potential as a function of time (∆E/∆t), determines the rate at which the potential is linearly
scanned during the experiment. You can select a scan rate of 0.1 mV per second to 3500 mV per
second.
To select the Scan Rate:
1. From the Scan Settings menu, select
Scan Rate
Figure 21: Scan Settings menu, selecting the Scan Rate
2. Enter a value.
3. Select
