Pstat.CableId()

Description

Report the current ID of the cable connected to the potentiostat.

 

For potentiostats with a single cell cable, like the Reference 600 and Interface 1010, there is only one cable ID.

 

For a potentiostat like the Reference 3000 with multiple cell cables, the CableType needs to be specified in order to read the Power or Aux Electrometer cable IDs. Use input either as INDEX or as constant.
