Pstat.SetAchOffset()

Description

Set the DC offset voltage in the current channel.

 

The actual offset circuitry may be implemented in the potentiostat or in the FRA. Not all hardware configurations have this feature. The actual DC offset voltage is returned. If the Pstat.AchOffsetEnable() flag is set to FALSE, 0 is returned. If the hardware doesn't support the DC offset, 0 is also returned.

This is valid for PC5 instruments.

 

Type

INSTANCE FUNCTION

 

Usage

Result = Pstat.SetAchOffset(Level)

 

Level

REAL

Offset voltage level. Both current and voltage channel offsets are specified in terms of voltage. Current values can be converted to voltages by multiplying by the potentiostat effective I/E resistance (see Pstat.IEResistor()).

Result

REAL

The active (after any change) offset voltage. This value should be checked, because some configurations always return 0. If the Pstat.AchOffsetEnable() flag is set to FALSE, 0 is returned.
