Overview
Upgrade Information | Read Before Update!
This release of AfterMath Blue is a major release with many improvements, fixes, and updates. We have been offering AfterMath Blue as a 64-bit application (versions starting with 2.x.xxxxx) for over a year; however, some customers may still be using an older, 32-bit version of the software (versions starting with 1.x.xxxxx). Before updating to a 64-bit version of Aftermath Blue, please read the Upgrading and Installing AfterMath Blue article before installing this version of the software. If you perform Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR), Potentiostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (PITT), Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (GITT), or Battery Cyclier (BAT-CYCLE) experiments, you must also update your potentiostat firmware before you can use AfterMath 2.2.14955. Please Contact Us so we can provide you with firmware updating and if you have any questions.

Change Type
Description/Details
New Feature
Visual update to user interface.
AfterMath Blue has been updated with newer, more modern icons and visual layouts. The primary color has been updated from green to blue.
Enhancement
Plot trace color improvements.
We have implemented improved handling of default trace colors, employing a more modern color pallette. Whenever possible: current is red, potential is blue, charge is purple. When working with a bipotentiostat, working electrode 1 is red and working electrode 2 is blue. Orange points or traces generally indicate bad/missing data points. For spectroelectrochemistry, absorbance is red, transmittance is blue, and intensity is green. There may be naturally expected deviations from these defaults, but the code was significantly updated to address consistency as often as possible.
New Feature
Readout Grids.
Live plot views have been updated with a new "live data stream" table. This table displays many details about the experiment while it's running, such as experiment progress, experiment duration, potential, current, charge as numerical values. The data shown is based things like experiment type and instrument capabilities.
Enhancement
Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) Improvements.
The slow staircase waveform used in this method has been significantly improved. AfterMath Blue now employs oversampling, averaging, and improved signal measurement. Computation of LPR slope is now always done internally using a linear least-squares fit where the potential data is on the x-axis. This means results with tools are expected to give the same results as what is shown on a post-experiment processed plot.
New Feature
Atypical termination notice.
When an experiment does not complete as expected, an "Atypical Termination" note is now added to the archive, within the results node for the experiment. This notice will describe what happened and why whenever possible. For example This experiment was stopped by the user before it ran to completion. The data and results from this experiment may be inaccurate.
New Feature
New Battery Method: Potentiostatic Intermittent Titration (PITT)
In a PITT experiment, voltage (potential) is the controlled variable and current is the measured variable. The experiment consists of repeatedly alternating between an applied voltage and rest (i.e., open circuit), with regular applied voltage increments, until a voltage set point is reached. This experiment has been added to AfterMath Blue.
New Feature
New Battery Method: Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration (GITT)
In a GITT experiment, current is the controlled variable and voltage (potential) is the measured variable. The experiment consists of repeatedly alternating between an applied current and zero current (i.e., rest, or open circuit) until the measured voltage reaches a desired set point. This experiment has been added to AfterMath Blue.
New Feature
New Battery Method: Battery Cycler (BAT-CYCLE)
In a BAT-CYCLE experiment, users can charge/discharge batteries with a high degree of specificity, safety, and control. Users design their own schedule of experiments such as Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), Rest (OCV), and EIS (EIS-GAL or EIS-POT), with updated (familiar) units such as Ah, C-rates, etc. Users can loop the schedule. This experiment creates and stores a log file, independent of the AfterMath archive, to ensure no data loss arises due to an unexpected step/experiment termination.
Enhancement
Spectroelectrochemistry (SPECE) and Spectroscopy (SPEC)
Significant visual and functional overhaul with major improvements. New ways to specify spectrum limits, wavelengths of interest, and staircase timing. When working with the live idle view of the spectrometer, the interface has been improved to offer greater clarity on spectrum control and acquisition.
Enhancement
Uncompensated Resistance
Enhanced and improved all methods: Impedance RU (EIS-RU), Positive Feedback RU (PF-RU), and Current Interrupt RU (CI-RU). EIS-RU continues to be the most reliable method of the three.
Enhancement
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Methods
Several changes to add potential vs. open circuit potential (previously was only vs. reference). Enhancements to stability filter algorithm for optimal EIS performance, added data to post-process output for EIS based experiments.
Enhancement
"Other Plots" Archive Folder
Following the completion of an experiment, AfterMath creates an experiment results node. Historically, "accessory" or "extra" plots that are created during post-processing were added to a folder named "other plots." This folder has been renamed to "Secondary Plots" to be more clear that most users are not seeking these plots, yet they are products, and are therefore often secondarily important to the main plot generated (not within any folders).
