Sweep parameters:
Hydrodynamic (measurement) [ on, off ; off ]
Enable/disable stirring of the RDE/SSE during the sweep.
Start potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; -0.9 V ]
Start voltage for the voltage sweep.
End potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; -0.1 V ]
Final voltage for the voltage sweep.
Voltage step (V) [ > 0 V ; 0.006 V ]
Voltage step for direct voltage ramp.
Voltage step time (s) [ > 0 s ; 0.4 s ]
Time interval after which the voltage in the sweep is increa-
sed or decreased by the amount Voltage step.
Sweep rate (V/s) [ read only ]
Display of the ramp slope calculated as Voltage step / Voltage
step time
.
Notes:
• The DC measurement mode can be used with all types of elec-
trodes except for DME and SMDE in the determination mode.
• The following conditions apply to the definition of the
Voltage
step time
:
Voltage step time > 270 μs (HMDE/RDE)
Voltage step time > 220 ms (DME)
Voltage step time > Drop size × 40 ms + 200 ms (SMDE)
• The measurement time
t (i) is defined as follows:
t (i) = 20/16.67 ms (power frequency 50/60 Hz)
