Scope of this Guide
This guide is intended for owners of the AfterMath software package who use the software to control electrochemical instrumentation manufactured by Pine Research Instrumentation. The reader is assumed to have a good working knowledge of electrochemistry (voltammetry, electrochemical cells, corrosion, etc.). The reader is also assumed to have a operational knowledge of other non-electrochemical features…

Idle Conditions
During the time period between experiments, it is usually important to assure that conditions of the electrochemical cell do not allow any unwanted electrochemical processes to occur. A passive approach is to merely disconnect the cell from the instrument (either manually or automatically) and prevent any stray currents in the cell. A more active approach…

Induction Period
Before a new experiment can begin, the instrument's circuitry must be configured to meet the needs of a particular electrochemical technique. The configuration step includes various “cell switching” actions such as adjusting the current range, selecting various filter circuits, turning on (or off) various relays, connecting the external cell to the control amplifier, choosing the…
