A cyclic sweep technique performs a sweep from the start potential to the reverse potential over a set number of cycles. One complete cycle goes from the start to reverse back to the start potential half cycles can be specified to finish on a reverse potential.
The rate at which the sweep progresses is controlled by either the Sweep rate or the Half cycle length sections these two sections are linked together changing one affects the other ones values.
Using Over sample measurements greatly improves the smoothness of recorded data many readings are averaged for each point. The exact number of readings averaged per point depends upon the sweep rate and Readings per test.
Cell settle time delays at the start potential which includes the rest potential if Include rest potential is checked if the internal counter resistor option At Start of test is set to Auto the best internal count resistor during the delay will be found.
Gradual sweep from cell to start potential stops the cell from being jolted when the start potential is applied. Instead of setting the start potential a gradual sweep from the cell rest potential to the start potential at a rate determined by Sweep rate is performed.
Advanced Settings
A positive current limit can be set on the advanced page once the limit has been reached there are options to either end the test or to reverse the sweep.
