VRUPDN

Type: CLASS

Purpose: The VRUPDN class describes a tri-voltage ramp waveform which can be applied by a potentiostat while in the Potentiostat mode.

The voltage is ramped from an initial voltage to an apex 1 voltage, then to an apex 2 voltage and back again to a final voltage. Vrupdn is normally used for Cyclic Voltammetry scans. The object encapsulates information about the initial, apex, and final voltages, the ramp rates, and the data-acquisition rate.

VRUPDN uses a staircase waveform. Data are sampled at each level on the staircase.

If the Skip button is “pressed” during the initial or second phase of the run, the VRUPDN signal generator advances to the next phase. If the Skip button is pressed during the final phase, the Curve.Run() ends prematurely.
