Calibration – Cable Calibration

2 kΩ Calibration Cell
Potentiostat calibration is only required infrequently. Recalibrate your Interface 1010 under the following
circumstances:
• It is at least one year since your last calibration.
• Your potentiostat has been serviced.
• You notice breaks or discontinuities in the data curves recorded with your system.
• The system is being run in an environment that is very different from the previous operating
environment. For example, if the Interface 1010 was calibrated at 15°C and you are now operating it
at 30°C, you should recalibrate.

Cable Calibration
This procedure uses an external resistive Calibration Cell, the same one as for DC Calibration (see Figure 4-1):
Cable calibration is only required infrequently, if you feel that the cable capacitance is a problem for your
experiments, especially if you see excessive phase glitches on high-impedance samples.
