Description
The Set a Voltage utility is used to apply a voltage to an electrochemical cell and measure the current resulting from that voltage. This utility is used for basic tests that do not need the sophistication of Gamry’s applications software.
It creates a graph of current versus time with 60 seconds of data recorded at 0.5 second per data point. You can use the Set a Voltage function regardless of the instrument tier assigned to your Gamry Instruments potentiostat.

The displayed data cannot be saved for later analysis. |
Run this utility by selecting Experiment > Utilities > Set a Voltage on the Framework™ menu bar. The Set a Voltage window opens:

You can choose to leave the cell on and the voltage applied after the 60 seconds of data are done. After 60 seconds have elapsed, a Cell Information dialog box appears:
