virtual LED

Tip: If the selected potentiostat has never been calibrated, no

Current Calibration Status information is displayed in the bottom

half of the Potentiostat Calibration window. The calibration

information in a Reference 3000 is stored inside the unit and moves

with the unit from computer to computer.

However, if the potentiostat has already been calibrated this window

displays information about the most recent calibration.

To confirm hardware recognition:

Calibration Preparation

Before you can use a new potentiostat, you must calibrate it

using the Universal Dummy Cell 4 shipped with the

potentiostat.

Recalibrate a potentiostat every six months or after moving

the potentiostat to a different environment.

To prepare for calibration:

Start Calibration Utility and Select the

Potentiostat

If you see a green virtual LED and the name of the

potentiostat installed in the PC, you are ready to calibrate.

A Utilities submenu in the Experiment menu is always

available in Framework. The Utilities submenu always

includes the Calibrate Instrument choice.

The other submenus available from the Experiment menu

depend on the selections you made when installing the

Gamry software. An Experiment submenu is available for

every Gamry software package you installed, although you

can run experiments only for authorized software packages.

To start the calibration utility:

Look at the top left corner of Framework screen (below

the menu bar). When the Framework window first opens

"Initializing Devices" is displayed.

After the potentiostat has been initialized, the "Devices

Present" line should display the name (label) assigned to

the potentiostat. A green "virtual LED" should also be

displayed to symbolize that the potentiostat is ready for

use.

When a potentiostat is in use, the virtual LED turns

yellow. The virtual LED and potentiostat label should

always be displayed.

If the name of the potentiostat is displayed and the

virtual LED is green, you are ready to calibrate the

potentiostat as described in the next subsection.

However, if a potentiostat's name is not displayed, the

Reference 3000 may not be installed correctly. Check

the power connections and USB cable. Make sure the

USB connector on the computer is enabled or

connected. Verify the Power and USB LED's on the

instrument are lit.

Let the Reference 3000 warm up for at least 30 minutes.

Place the dummy cell inside the Calibration Shield.

Make sure the cell cable supplied with the potentiostat is

firmly connected to the potentiostat to be calibrated.

Open the Potentiostat Calibration window by selecting

Experiment > Utilities > Calibrate Instrument from the

Framework menu bar.

In the Potentiostat Calibration window select the option

button labeled with the name of the potentiostat to be

calibrated.

Select the calibration type "Both".

Click on OK. The Potentiostat Calibration window

remains open. The Connection Information window will

open. It contains general instructions for using the

Universal Dummy Cell (UDC). Specific instructions for

using the Universal Dummy Cell are in this document

(see below).
