Cable Calibration
This procedure uses an external resistive Calibration Cell.
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.
Procedure to calibrate the cable
1) Connect the Chassis Ground on the back of your potentiostat to a
known, good earth ground.
Caution: The Reference 600+ cable calibration calls for an external resistive
dummy cell. Your Reference 600+ was shipped with a 20 kΩ Calibration Cell including a 20 kΩ,
0.05% accurate resistor. After calibration, please place this Calibration Cell in a safe place where you
can find it if your unit requires recalibration.
The cable calibration cell is a different cell (20 kΩ) than standard instrument calibration (200 Ω).
