Chrono Coulometry

Create chrono coulometry method parameters.

Chronoamperometry (CA) and Chronocoulometry (CC) have the same potential waveform but in CC, the charge is monitored as a function of time (instead of the current). The charge is determined by integrating the current.

Methods:

• to_dict –

  Return the technique instance as a new key/value dictionary mapping.

• from_dict –

  Structure technique instance from dict.

• from_method_id –

  Create new instance of appropriate technique from method ID.

Attributes:

• general (General) –

  Sets general/other settings.

• data_processing (DataProcessing) –

  Set the data processing settings.

• charge_limits (ChargeLimits) –

  Set the charge limit settings.

• current_limits (CurrentLimits) –

  Set the current limit settings.

• post_measurement (PostMeasurement) –

  Set the post measurement settings.

• pretreatment (Pretreatment) –

  Set the pretreatment settings.

• current_range (CurrentRange) –

  Set the autoranging current.

• id (Literal['cc']) –

  Unique method identifier.

• equilibration_time (float) –

  Equilibration time in s.

• interval_time (float) –

  The time between two samples in s.

• step1_potential (float) –

  Potential applied during first step in V.

• step1_run_time (float) –

  Run time for the first step.

• step2_potential (float) –

  Potential applied during second step in V.

• step2_run_time (float) –

  Run time for the second step.

• bandwidth (None | float) –

  Override bandwidth on MethodSCRIPT devices if set.

• record_auxiliary_input (bool) –

  Record auxiliary input.

• record_cell_potential (bool) –

  Record cell potential.

• record_we_potential (bool) –

  Record applied working electrode potential.
