Overview of Chronoamperometry Analysis

The Chronoamperometry analysis script allows you to open a Chronoamperometry data file by selecting the data file from the File Open window. The data file opens, and a series of tabbed pages are created in a new window. These tabs contain two graphs of the data, experimental setup information, experimental notes, and hardware settings.

The standard Chronoamperometry analysis script shows a plot of current (I) vs. time (t) on the first page. Common analyses performed on this graph include background subtraction, and peak location with the Min/Max command. The second page displays a plot of current (I) vs. τ-1/2 (τ–1/2) , which can be used to evaluate the parameters of the Cottrell equation using the Calculate Cottrell Equation command

Descriptions of the analysis commands in the Chronoamperometry menu can be found in the Commands section of the PHE Data Analysis Help.
