Pause button

Description

Pausing any part of an experiment stops the experiment's timer. All time-dependent actions, such as data acquisition, stepping the voltage, or measuring a time delay, come to a halt. The status display changes to Continue when you click the Pause button. Use "F3" as shortcut.

By default, the Pause button maintains the current applied in Galvanostat mode, and the voltage applied in Potentiostat mode. Pausing a large applied current during an experiment can severely damage a battery or cell under test. To avoid this, you can change the GAMRY.INI file to stop applying current in Galvanostat mode when an experiment is paused. Follow the instructions below to make this change.

 

Galvanostatic mode

Change the default Pause action in Galvanostatic mode, so that a paused experiment shuts off the applied current:

 

1.In the GAMRY.INI file, find the section header for the instrument you wish to change Pause mode.

 

[IFC1010-01860]

PowerState=FALSE

label=IFC1010-01860

 

2.Add following line underneath your instrument's section header.

 

CellOpenOnPauseGstat=TRUE

 

A TRUE value sets the Pause action to shut down the cell current. A FALSE value allows the cell current to stay on when paused.

 

Potentiostatic mode

Change the default Pause action in Potentiostatic mode, so that a paused experiment shuts off the applied voltage:

 

1.In the GAMRY.INI file, find the section header for the instrument you wish to change Pause mode.

 

[IFC1010-01860]

PowerState=FALSE

label=IFC1010-01860

 

2.Add following line underneath your instrument's section header.

 

CellOpenOnPausePstat=TRUE

 

A TRUE value sets the Pause action to shut down the cell voltage. A FALSE value allows the cell voltage to stay on when paused.
