12 Glossary
This glossary is made to help the user understand most of the terms used in this instrument
installation and configuration manual. The terms are defined in alphabetical order.
Bandwidth: represents the frequency of the regulation loop of the instrument. It depends on
the electrochemical cell impedance. The bandwidth’s values go from 1 to 4 with increasing
frequency.
Cell connection: connection of the instrument’s channel board to the electrochemical cell
with four leads.
Default settings: settings defined and saved as default by the user and automatically
opened when the corresponding protocol is selected.
Firmware upgrading: the firmware is the operating system installed on the communication
module. It is necessary to upgrade both the firmware and software to benefit from the most
recent version.
Gateway: IP address allowing the connection of computers from different networks onto an
instrument.
Network: group of computers connected together to which the multichannel instrument can
be added. Several users with different computers can lead experiments on one or more
channels of the instrument.
PDU: Power Distribution Unit is an electrical device allowing the distribution of electrical
power to BCS-8xx module installed in a BCSC cabinet. The PDU can be installed in the
BCSC-38U and BCSC-24U cabinets.
Specifications: Characteristics of the instrument such as cell control or current and potential
measurement.
Subnet mask: IP number used when the instrument is not in the same network as the com-
puter.
TCP/IP: Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol using IP addresses to identify hosts on a
network
Triggers: option that allows the instrument to set a trigger out (TTL signal) at experiment
start/stop or to wait for an external trigger in to start or stop the run.
