sweeps

(

Voltammetric

tab). “Total number of mea-

surements” must not exceed 10.

Voltammetric tab with Calibration technique “DT Suppressors
with calibration curve”

The

Voltammetric

tab of the

EDIT WORKING METHOD PARAME-

TERS

window contains parameters for preparation procedures and

VA measurement modes. With the

Calibration

technique "DT Supp-

ressors with calibration curve" the Voltammetric parameters are
not editable. They depend on the parameters defined for recording
the calibration curve.
Following parameters have to be defined:

Initial mixing time (s) [ read only ] [ 0...80600 s ; 10 s ]

(see

Initial

mixing time with CVS and CPVS

, section 6.3)

Time of mixing before the first measurement of
the sample solution.

Conditioning Cycles [ read only ]

(see

Conditioning cycles with CVS

and CPVS

, section 6.3)

Start potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; 0.2 V ] [ read only ]

Start voltage for the cyclic conditioning sweep.

End potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; 1.625 V ] [ read only ]

Final voltage for the cyclic conditioning sweep.

No. of cycles [ 0...X ; 0 ] [ read only ]

Number of conditioning cycles.

Pretreatment

(see

Pretreatment with CVS and CPVS

, section 6.3)

Cleaning potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; 1.625 V ] [ read only ]

Voltage applied to the electrodes during the

Cleaning time

.

Cleaning time (s) [ 0...80600 s ; 0 s ] [ read only ]

Time during which the

Cleaning potential

is app-

lied to the electrodes.

Equilibration potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; 1.625 V ]

(This pa-

rameter is with CPVS part of the sweep)

Voltage applied to the electrodes during the

Equilibration time

.

Equilibration time (s) [ 0...80600 s ; 5 s ]

(This parameter is

with CPVS part of the sweep)

Waiting time before starting the sweep; with

Equilibration potential

applied to the electrodes. If

the checkbox

Hydrodynamic (measurement)

is not

checked, the stirrer is switched off during that
time.

Sweep [ read only ]

The sweep parameters depend on the mode (see
