Multiplexer Configure and Test is available in version 7.06 (and later) of Gamry Instruments’ software suite. It encapsulates several older Multiplexer utility functions into one utility that includes on-screen instructions for its use. Set Channel no longer forces you to run scripts with non-obvious names and no instructions or Help. Following utility functions can be executed:
Run this utility by selecting Experiment > Utilities > Multiplexer Configure and Test on the Framework™ menu bar. The Get Ru window opens:

---|---|---|---|---|
Change the settings of an installed and configured Multiplexer. The function allows to select and set the state of each individual channel. It is most commonly used to make one Multiplexer cell active. Once a cell is active, you can run non-multiplexed tests on that cell. |

Find the COM port used by an ECM8 multiplexer in a Gamry Instruments system. This function only works in a system with only one active ECM8.
In modern computer systems, COM ports are usually made available by means of a USB-to-COM-port cable or adapter. Microsoft Windows® assigns an arbitrary COM port number that changes when the USB cable is moved.
This utility searches all available COM ports and looks for a connected ECM8. When an instrument is found, the ECM8's front-panel LEDs begin to blink.

Change the COM port assigned to an ECM8. This function is required for systems with more than one ECM8.
