Reference 600+ Specifications
69
11. The total error in a voltage measurement is:
Error = Zero Offset Error + Gain Error × Voltage
For a 1 V signal the error can be as high as 3 mV.
12. There are 11 hardware current ranges, separated in sensitivity by decades. The ranges are 60 pA, 600
pA, 6 nA, … 60 mA, 600 mA full-scale. The ×10 and ×100 gains add two virtual ranges of 6 pA and
600 fA full scale.
13. The voltage across the current measurement resistor, Rm, is as shown. Slightly higher voltages may be
seen at the working electrode terminal on the cell cable, because the cable has both resistive and
inductive impedance.
14. The total error in a current measurement is:
Error = Input Current Offset + Range Zero Offset × FS Current + Gain Tolerance × Measured Current
For small currents (pA) the first term is usually dominant.
For large currents (µA), the first term can usually be ignored.
The units for the error are ampères.
15. Drift can be approximated by simple drift in the Range Zero Error. In reality all three terms in the
equation above can have drift.
16. The current-to-voltage converter bandwidth is a function of the current range, the cell cable, and the
IEStability setting. The bandwidth can be very low on very sensitive ranges. Longer cell cables add
capacitance and slow the current measurement.
17. The total error in a voltage setting is:
Error = DC Zero Offset + Gain × Voltage Setting
For a 1 V signal the error can be as high as 3 mV.
18. This specification is guaranteed by design. It is not tested.
19. This specification is measured by applying zero voltage across a 1 resistor and measuring current
noise on the 600 µA scale. 1 µV of voltage noise creates a current of 1 µA. The filters in the ADC Chain
for the I Signal are used to limit the bandwidths as shown in the specification.
Signal averaging via Gamry’s DSP mode further reduces the measured noise.
20. See Appendix D.
21. Isolation quality has both DC factors and AC factors (predominately at the 300 kHz power-supply
frequency). Only the DC leakage current is shown here. Consult Gamry’s technical support for
additional information.
22. Excluding external power adapter and any cables supplied with unit.
23. Excluding removable line cord.
