There are a number of parameters that are common to all techniques.
a) Potential range. When only a single potential is required, this is defined by
Initial E
.
If a potential range is required, this is defined by
Initial E
and
Final E
(for single
sweep/scan/step experiments), or
Initial E
,
High E
and
Low E
(for two or more
sweep/ scans/steps in the experiment). The range for any potential is -3276 to +3276
mV.
b)
Sensitivity
. This is the gain of the current-to-voltage converter output. For all
techniques (except
CC
,
IMP
and
LOGI
), the range of sensitivities is 100 mA/V to
10 pA/V, although for sensitivities greater than 100 nA/V, the Low Current Module
(LCM) must be used.
c)
Quiet Time
. This is the time between the initiation of the
Run
and the start of the
potential scan/step. The working electrode is connected at
Initial E
during this time,
so that equilibration can occur before the start of the experiment. The allowed range
for the
Quiet Time
is 0 to 65535 seconds.
