EIS300 "Check300" Test Results

Error for Not Authorized Package

988-00008

Reference 3000

Optional Test

Introduction

After the Gamry Framework and Gamry software packages

have been installed, and the potentiostat has been calibrated,

you are ready to use the Framework interface to run

experiments with the Gamry software packages. General

instructions for running experiments are on page 16.

If you bought the EIS300 Electrochemical Impedance

Spectroscopy Software, you can run an EIS test experiment

using Universal Dummy Cell 3 or 4.

This test is not required. However, it is a good idea to run it

to check potentiostat functionality and to become familiar with

the process of running experiments through the Framework

interface.

EIS300 "Check300" Test

Using the EIS edge of the Universal Dummy Cell and

the"Check300.exp" script (found in the "Scripts" folder), you

can run a Potentiostatic EIS scan on the Universal Dummy

Cell.

To do the EIS300 test:

If your Potentiostat is not authorized for the EIS300 software

package, this experiment will not run. You will receive an

error like the one shown here. This message is similar to

other messages generated when experiments from not-

authorized packages are ran. See Page 9 to correct the code

entry or your local Gamry representative to purchase the

additional code.

Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA Quick-Start Guide

Connect the clips on the cell cable to the appropriate

posts on the EIS edge of the Universal Dummy Cell 4.

(For color codes, see page 16 or wait until the script

displays connection information.)

Run the "Check300.exp" script that is stored in the

"Scripts" folder. No parameter values apply to this test.

The results are automatically written to a file named

"Check300.dta".

When the test has concluded, compare your results with

the screenshot (see left).

If the plot in your Framework window is similar to ours,

the potentiostat passed the test.

If the plot in your Framework window is not similar to

ours, try the experiment again with the Universal Dummy

Cell in a Faraday Cage, such as the Calibration Shield.

If your plot is not similar to ours after running the test

with the Universal Dummy Cell in a Faraday Cage,
