Multi-Step Chronoamperometry

Description

Multi-Step Chronoamperometry is an extension of Gamry Instruments’ Chronoamperometry script which is restricted to two potential steps. This script allows tests with more complex waveforms containing up to 48 steps.

 

Multi-Step Chronoamperometry is a multipurpose test. It is often used to apply unusual waveforms for specialized experiments. An example is pulse plating where the primary plating step is followed by relaxation, a stripping step, relaxation, and then additional plating.

 

This script is particularly useful when the step times are short (< 5 s) and the time between steps must be short and reproducible. When the step times last 5 s or more, Gamry’s Sequence Wizard offers even more flexibility.

The Sequence Wizard has 10 s of milliseconds time delay between the steps. Consequentially, Fast tests in the Sequence Wizard can suffer from timing problems.
