Generic Pulse Purpose

Generic Pulse Waveform is used for experiments that require a repeating square-wave pulsed waveform in which the characteristics of the pulse can be easily modified. Pulse plating is a common application of the Generic Pulse Waveform. Battery, fuel-cell, and sensor developers may also need the Generic Pulse Waveform. The generic pulse can be under either Potentiostatic or Galvanostatic control.

The Generic Pulse Waveform may be used with a solid electrode (e.g., Pt, Au, glassy carbon), a rotated electrode, or a Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode.

The type of electrode chosen determines whether mercury-drop formation signals are generated. The Purge & Stir information determines whether de-aeration (purge) and stir signals are output.
