Sweep parameters:

Hydrodynamic (measurement) [ on, off ; on ]

Enable/disable stirring of the RDE/SSE during the sweep.

Start potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; 1.625 V ]

First turning point for the potential sweep.

Note: The Start potential needs to be between the First ver-

tex potential and the Second vertex potential.

First vertex potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; -0.175 V ]

First turning point for the potential sweep.

Second vertex potential (V) [ -5...+5 V ; 1.625 V ]

Second turning point for the potential sweep (Can be differ-

ent from the Start potential).

Voltage step (V) [ > 0 V ; 0.006 V ]

Voltage step for direct voltage ramp.

Sweep rate (V/s) [ > 0 V/s ; 0.1 V/s ]

Ramp slope = Voltage step / Voltage step time.

No. of sweeps [ > 0 ; 3 ]

Number of cyclic sweeps to be performed.

Save last ... sweeps [ > 0 ; 2 ]

Number of cycles to be saved.

Note: Total number of saved sweeps is number of Save last

sweeps multiplied with No. of replications.

Notes:

• The CVS measurement mode is mainly used with RDE elec-

trodes. HMDE is possible.

• The following condition applies to the definition of Voltage

step

and Sweep rate:

Voltage step time = Voltage step / Sweep rate > 270 μs

• The measurement time

t (i) is defined as follows:

Voltage step time ≥ 80 ms → t (i) = 20/16.67 ms (power fre-

quency 50/60 Hz)

Voltage step time < 80 ms → t (i) = Voltage step time / 4 (Volt-

age step time = Voltage step / Sweep rate)
