-
Connect the USB-to-serial converter cable to the RS-232to-multiplexer cable.
-
Plug the USB-to-serial converter cable into a free USB port on the host computer.
Windows® detects the cable and assigns a COM port number.
NOTE: If Windows® does not detect the cable, insert the accompanying mini-CD to load the driver. -
Attach the RS-232-to multiplexer cable to the RS-232C connector on the back of the multiplexer.
-
Attach the Potentiostat/ECM8 cable to the cell cable jack on your potentiostat. Attach the other end of the ECM8 cable to the multiplexer POTENTIOSTAT receptacle.
NOTE: Reference 3000 potentiostats also require a special Y-shaped
adapter. -
Connect the power cord to the rear of the multiplexer. Connect the other end of the power cable to the AC supply (mains).
7. On your host computer, open the Gamry Framework software.
A window informs you that the test will begin.
10 Click the OK button.
The automatic detecting software runs, searching for the COM port. Watch the
eight amber LEDs on the front of the multiplexer illuminate in sequence three
times. Listenfor the simultaneous clicks of the relays.
A window asks you to restart Framework.
11 Click the OK button.
Connect the included cell cables to the desired channels on the back of the
multiplexer, then restart Framework.
12. In the Framework software, run the desired multiplexed experiment.
13. Activate the checkboxes corresponding to the active channels on the
multiplexer.
When a particular
channel runs, the amber LED for that channel illuminates.
NOTE: For AC experiments (e.g., EIS), you must run AC calibration of your
potentiostat with the multiplexer connected. Do not run DC calibration.
To AC-calibrate multiplexer channels:
-
Choose Experiment > Utilities > Multiplexer Configure and Test, as in step 8 in the previous section. The Select Function window appears.
-
Choose the Set Channel radio button, and click the OK button.
The Multiplexer 1 Setup window appears.
-
In the Active Cell area, choose a radio button for any channel to be calibrated, and click the OK button.
NOTE: You only need to run AC calibration on one channel. All other channels are treated the same.
