Guidelines for Electochemistry
The following is a general procedure for using the Electrochemistry
window in PicoView. The user will need to know what electrodes and
solution to use. The choice of when to image the sample is also
dependent upon the experimental requirements.
1
Choose
Controls > Electrochemistry
to open the Electrochemistry
window.
2
Select the
Auto Set Potential
check box.
3
Click
the CE button to turn the counter electrode On. The button
should be green.
4
Set the
Iec Gain
from the drop-down menu. Initial values are
typically 1 or 10.
Note for older systems this is controlled from the HEB.
5
Set the Sweep Sample Potential parameters. These are sample
dependent.
6
Select sweeps for 1 cycle
or continuous cycling
.
7
Once all parameters are set, begin the voltage sweep by clicking the
blue triange
Start
button to sweep up or down.
To save successive electrochemistry measurements, have files saved
automatically after each set of potential sweeps:
1
In the Electrochemistry window, choose
File > Set filename ...
.
2
In the
Save As
dialog box, enter a filename for the data set. Note the
file type will default to *.mi.
