The Scan Rate parameter defines the speed of the potential sweep during data acquisition. Units are mV/s. A practical bound on the Scan Rate is 1000 mV/s. Higher Scan Rates may run, but can yield inaccurate data because the software cannot acquire data points fast enough. The Scan Rate parameter, when combined with the Step Size parameter, determines time between data points and thus the data-acquisition rate used in the experiment. Time (seconds/point) = [Step Size (mV/point)] / [Scan Rate (mV/second)] The maximum data-acquisition rate depends on the speed of the computer, the configuration of Windows®, and the other software currently executing. As a guideline, avoid sample times below 100 μs. For scans faster than 1 ms, the acquired data only are displayed after the experiment has completed. This reduces the chance that the computer limits the acquisition speed. |

The Step Size parameter determines the spacing between the data points in mV. A typical Step Size setting is between 1 and 5 mV. The Step Size parameter combines with the scan range on any given cycle to determine the number of data points. # Points = [Scan Range (mV)] / [Step Size (mV)] The total number of data points must be less than 64000 for all cycles. The Step Size parameter also combines with the Scan Rate parameter to determine the time interval between the data points. |

Sampling Mode |
Sampling Mode defines whether or not the potentiostat oversamples and averages during acquisition. These choices are only relevant for the Reference™ family instruments. |
