The first step is to fully compensate both the electrode capacitance (using the Cp
Fast/Slow controls) and the whole-cell capacitance (using the Whole Cell controls).
(See Chapter 5,
CAPACITANCE COMPENSATION.) The estimated R
s
– which is the
resistance we wish to compensate – is the M value displayed under the Whole Cell
checkbox. After compensation the trace will look like Figure 4.16.
