Overview of Utilities

The Utilities menu includes a number of general-purpose routines that perform the following functions:

Potentiostat Calibration to correct for drifts in instrument circuits.

  • Menu selections are:
  • Calibrate Instrument
  • DC Low I Calibration
  • Aux Electrometer Calibration

Run simple experiments such as setting a potential or a current, or measuring open-circuit voltage.

  • Menu selections are:
  • pen Circuit Potential
  • Set a Voltage
  • Set a Current

Multiplexer setup and testing.

  • Menu selection is:
  • Multiplexer Configuration and Test

Set the compliance voltage and compliance voltage limits of a Reference™ 3000 potentiostat.

  • Menu selection is:
  • Compliance Voltage

Measure uncompensated resistance in an electrochemical cell. This value can be used in positive-feedback iR-compensation.

  • Menu selection is:
  • Get Ru

Measure the impedance of a reference electrode.

  • Menu selection is:
  • Measure Reference Electrode Impedance
