Detailed Description

In this experiment, the working electrode holds at a starting potential during the quiet time. Then it applies a train of pulses superimposed on a staircase waveform, with a uniform potential step size. The potential continues to step until the final potential is reached.

The pulse width is the amount of time between the rising and falling edge of a pulse. The pulse period is the amount of time between the beginning of one pulse and the beginning of the next.

Advanced control of data output for pulse experiments can be performed using the class
