Gamry Instrument Manager
You can use Gamry's new Instrument Manager dialog box to make changes to the configuration of your
Reference 3000 system. This dialog box is accessed through the Options menu in the Gamry Framework.
The Instrument Manager is used to:
• Rename potentiostats
• Delete potentiostats that are not currently connected to the computer
• Select the order in which potentiostats appear in menus
• Authorize potentiostat use with applications packages
• Update firmware within potentiostats
You run the Instrument Manger by selecting Options, Instrument Manager... on the Framework Menu.
Figure 4-6 shows the Instrument Manager dialog box for the three potentiostat Framework session shown in the
previous section.

Instrument Manager Dialog Box
Each Gamry potentiostat in the system appears on a separate row. All Gamry Instruments potentiostats that are
known to the system are displayed in the Instrument Manger. An instrument is selected by clicking anywhere
within that row for that instrument. Selecting an instrument that is connected and idle will blink its Power LED.
The buttons on the right side of the dialog box change depending on which instrument is selected. Some
buttons are inappropriate for some instruments.
The Status column tells you the whether each instrument is available and usable by the Framework. Possible
status conditions are:
Present The instrument is connected, powered, and available for use.
Absent The instrument was connected in the past but is currently not connected or not powered.
Instruments with this status can be deleted from the system
In Use The instrument is currently running a Framework experiment.
Update The instrument is connected and powered, but cannot be used to run experiments. Its current
firmware revision is not compatible with the current Framework revision. You can update the
instrument's firmware by selecting this instrument and selecting Firmware Update.
