Figure 6–5: Potential steps in pulse mode
The measurement potential is applied during t1; the actual current measurement occurs during
ts. Steps t2, t3, and t4 are for regenerating the electrode. This process repeats itself continuously
when the cell is on.
Up to five potential steps can be defined in pulse mode. The sampling interval (period at which
the current is measured) is applied at the end of E1. More detailed information about pulsed
amperometric detection is available in
.
6.3 Pulse mode 2
The 3465 Detector (FW 1.09 and up) offers an extended pulse mode, pulse mode 2. In pulse
mode 2 it is possible to program a multi-step waveform with up to 30 time-potential (t,E)
coordinates and a maximum pulse duration of 4 seconds (see the following figure).
