Pstat.SetCASpeed()

Description

Set the roll-off filter on the potentiostat control amp.

 

It can be varied from 0 to 3, with 0 being the fastest speed.

 

The control amplifier roll-off affects the overall stability of the potentiostat. As with the Pstat.SetStability() disclaimer, we can only offer you a general guideline in setting the CA speed.

 

If the potentiostat oscillates on all current ranges, change the setting.

 

Four constants have been set to make code-reading easier. Located in the pstat.exp script, their names are:

CASpeedFast

CASpeedNorm

CASpeedMed

CASpeedSlow

 

Gamry tip bulb

This is used on PC5 and PCI4 instruments.
