viva 1.1 (for process analysis)
Principle
In the CP measuring mode with the option Measure galvanostatically
(see Glossary, page 1046), a constant current is applied to the working
electrode (see A) and the diffusion-controlled change in the electrode
potential over time is measured (see B).
In the CP measuring mode with the option Measure open-circuit
potential (see Glossary, page 1055), the circuit is opened and the
potential between the working electrode and the reference electrode is
measured during the indicated measurement duration (see B).
