The sense (gray) and working (green) leads are connected to the working and sense 
terminals,  while  the  reference  (white)  and  counter  (red)  leads  are  connected  to  the 
reference and counter terminals. The picture blow demonstrates the connection to the 
dummy cell: 
 
 
 
 
As this is an AC Dummy Cell, it is designed to provide a means of evaluating the EIS 
performance of the system.  A Potentiostatic EIS frequency scan from 100 KHz to 100 
mHz at an ac amplitude of 10mV (10 points/decade sampling rate) should provide a Bode 
Z plot and Nyquist Plot as follows: 
 
 
 
The Bode Z plot (right plot above) should be horizontal at 10ohm at higher frequencies, 
and horizontal at 110ohm (10 +100) at lower frequencies.  The Nyquist semicircle should
