a) The wave form generator that drives the potentiostat is a Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC) with 2
16
(65,636) resolution elements. The resolution of the
staircase potential wave form is 0.1 mV, which generates a potential range of
±
3276 mV. The rate at which the potential can change (the
Scan Rate
) is
dependent on the rate at which each digital element can be changed. This rate
is determined by the speed of the clock pulses, which is set at 2.048 x 10
6
pulses/s in the BAS 100B/W. The rate of change from the DAC is controlled
by allowing only a fraction of the clock pulses to reach the DAC. The allowed
Scan Rates
(for mV/s) are calculated from the equation shown below and
some values are listed in Table 10-1. If the entered scan rate is between two
values, the higher scan rate will be used.
