Zero Resistance Ammeter
Zero Resistance Ammeter is a technique that converts a current between the working and counter electrodes with the application of a “zero” voltage to the cell. A typical use for this technique is the investigation of corrosion on a surface.

Relaxation Period
At the end of an experiment, you may specify a period of time during which particular signal level(s) are applied to the working electrode(s), perhaps to allow the cell to re-equilibrate with a set of conditions where no electrochemical activity is occurring. During this “relaxation period”, no data is acquired. Careful choice of the proper…

Ranges
The “Ranges” tab is set to Autorange by default (see below). To change the default settings, simply choose the wanted potential or current range from the drop down menu. In the example below, has already been selected and the user is in the process of changing the Auto current range to . Links: Electrochemist's Guide,…

Post-Experiment Idle Conditions
When an experiment concludes, the instrument reverts to its idle mode and applies a set of idle conditions to the electrochemical cell. By default, the instrument simply disconnects from the electrochemical cell. You may override this default behavior by specifying an alternate set of conditions on the Post-Experiment tab on the form shown below. In…
