Cell Port
The WaveNow USB Potentiostat is connected to an external electrochemical cell through a 15-pin cell port located on the side of the instrument. This port is a female HD-15 connector and has the same appearance as a VGA video connector on a personal computer.
Pine offers several products designed to mate with the cell port on the WaveNow USB Potentiostat:
-
WaveNow/WaveNano Shielded Cell Cable Kit (part number AKCABLE5)
-
WaveNow/WaveNano Student Cell Cable for use with the Student Voltammetry Cell (part number RRTPE04)
-
