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 19: Scan Settings menu, selecting Scan Rate
