vessel and measure Q.

Operate a sequence in Electroplating Bath VA

The sequence to measure with the electroplating modes CVS or
CPVS includes the following steps:

1.

Initial

mixing time

2.

Initial electrode conditioning

a.

Conditioning cycles

(Number of “conditioning cycles” de-

fined in

No. of cycles

on the

Voltammetric

tab of the

EDIT

WORKING METHOD PARAMETERS

window)

b.

Pretreatment

c.

Sweep

(Number of sweeps defined in

No. of sweeps

on the

Voltammetric

tab of the

EDIT WORKING METHOD PA-

RAMETERS

window)

Note: Define the number of these "Initial electrode condition-
ing measurements” on the

Determination

tab of the

EDIT WOR-

KING METHOD PARAMETERS

window. You can either set a fi-

xed number, or put a ”Std.dev.“ as stabilizing border.

3. First Measurement:

a.

Conditioning cycles

(Number of “conditioning cycles” de-

fined in

No. of cycles

on the

Voltammetric

tab of the

EDIT

WORKING METHOD PARAMETERS

window)

b.

Pretreatment

c.

Sweep

(Number of sweeps is defined in

No. of sweeps

,

number of saved sweeps in

Save last .. sweeps

on the

Volt-

ammetric

tab of the

EDIT WORKING METHOD PARAME-

TERS

window)

Note: Instead of repeating sweeps, you can also repeat
the whole Measurement cycle. Define the number of repli-
cations in

No. of replications

on the

Determination

tab of

the

EDIT WORKING METHOD PARAMETERS

window.

Metrohm recommends to set the

No. of replications

on 1,

the

No. of sweeps

on 4 and

Save last .. sweeps

on 2.

4. First Addition:

Add standard or bath solution (is depending on the

Cali-

bration

technique). You can do it either manually or auto-

matically using Dosing Devices. The

Volume

should be de-

fined on the

Substances

tab of the

EDIT WORKING

METHOD PARAMETERS

window.
