EC-Lab® V10.10 (Online March 3, 2011)

NEW FEATURES

• New USB drivers for Windows Seven 32 and 64 bits operating systems
• New hardware option supported: 4A/-4;14V SP-300 booster kit
• New application folder “Photovoltaic/fuel cells” including 5 techniques: constant current, constant voltage, constant power, constant load and I-V characterization.
• Added the Ece recording for EIS techniques offering the EIS measurement on the counter electrode
• WE vs. CE potential is calculated in EIS measurements when Ece is recorded.
• Stack measurements: both in AC and DC modes, all the techniques are available in this configuration
• New battery application: GCPL6 with voltage control between WE and CE (for VMP3 devices)
• New battery application: Galvano Profile Importation (GPI) including a text file importation
• New battery application: Potentio Profile Importation (PPI) ) including text file importation
• New battery application: Resistance Profile Importation (RPI) including text file importation
• New battery application: Power Urbain Profile Importation (PWPI) including text file importation
• New technique: Current Interrupt (CI) for IR determination
• New technique in the technique builder: Pause
• New technique in the technique builder: Temperature Control (TC)
• New technique in the technique builder: Rotating Disk Electrode Control (RDEC)
• New technique in the technique builder: External Device Control (EDC)
• Simplification of the wait technique: the external device control was removed
• Added the WE to ground connection mode for the SP-200/300 instruments
• 1µV control resolution now allowed for SP-200/300 instruments
• Added E range selection in the OCV technique.
• Possibility to add sequences to the LASV technique
• CV Sim: New analysis tool for cyclic voltammetry curves: CV simulation of (E), (EE) ... (EEEEE) mechanisms with or without ohmic drop and double layer capacity and two different electrode geometries: linear and circular.
• New analysis tool : Photovoltaic analysis

IMPROVEMENTS

• Data filtering is not limited to y(t) or I(E) representations any more. The cycle number is copied into the filtered trace file for all the filtering methods.
• Added the possibility to define external amplifiers in the “virtual potentiostat” mode
• Added the possibility to process several files off line at the same time (compact PCGA files ...).
• Allowed data filtering on any trace with the moving average method (it was previously limited to y(t) and I(E) representations).

ERROR CORRECTIONS

• VASP fit error: "Cannot reload original data from file", when changing Rp/Ohm vs. sinus amplitude/V original units, for example to Rp/mOhm vs. sinus amplitude/mV.
• The CASP fit analysis was not working properly if the sinus frequency (fs) unit was different from Hz.
• A warning message was displayed for currents between 400 mA and 800 mA for the SP-50 and SP-150 devices.
• The "text export" option (into the "Advanced Settings" tab) was unchecked when clicking on the "Cell Characteristics" or "Parameters Settings" tab.
• Process Rp: the graph did not switch properly to I vs. Ewe representation when asked
• For very slow scans (0.005 mV/s) the potential was jumping to the opposite value (after 4 days).
• The Rp calculation for the corrosimetry technique was not properly working while used with several linked techniques and a loop.
• The PEIS technique cycle number was not always incremented.
• Display an error message "WARNING : line 0, ts=3600.900 s is not a multiple of 0.0002 s and will be rounded to 3600.900 s !, Continue ?", when running an experiment with some specific values of the time parameters.
• Do not interrupt the batch execution anymore with the error "Cannot open more than 32 traces on the current graph" (the message is now displayed into the EC-Lab error message window that is not blocking).
• ENA / PSD with DFT : modification of the standard deviation calculation.
• Error while loading a VMP2 or VMP3 instrument with 16 channels plugged corrected.
• dEw/dt calculation during OCV periods for the VMP2 instruments.
