1.
Navigate to the root folder of the device containing the
Gamry Software (DVD or Flash Drive) or to a Windows® folder
containing the Gamry Software.
2.
Run the program called AUTORUN.EXE found in this folder.
If you do not know how to navigate to the Gamry Installation device,
consult your local computer expert or network administrator, or email
techsupport@gamry.com.
AUTORUN.EXE runs a set-up program. In most cases, you can choose the
default choices or the most obvious choices on all screens shown during
the set-up process.
Reboot Your Computer after Software Installation
Reboot your computer when the Gamry Setup program is done. The
Setup program normally offers you the opportunity to do so. Following
Setup, you may not be able to use your EIS Box until the drivers are
loaded.
Device driver installation may not occur until
a while after the Windows Desktop appears.
On a slow computer, or a busy computer with
lots of active applications, the delay before
driver installation can be a minute or more.
Power Cord and Power Connection
The mains are connected to the AC Input jack on the rear of the EIS Box
(Fig. 4-2).
The power supply provided inside the EIS Box is rated for operation from
100 to 240 V AC, at frequencies from 47 to 63 Hz. It should therefore be
useable worldwide.
The EIS Box is normally supplied with a line cord suitable for use in the
United States. In other countries, you may have to replace the line cord
with one suitable for your type of mains (electrical outlet). You must
always use a line cord with a CEE 22 Standard V (IEC 320 C13) female
connector on the end of the cable leading to the unit. This is the same
connector used on the US standard line cord supplied with your EIS Box.

Power-up Test
Before you make any other connections to your EIS Box, check that the
EIS Box is at least nominally functional.
After connecting AC power to the EIS Box, toggle the Power switch on
the front panel of the EIS Box.
Watch the Power LED as the EIS Box powers up. It glows a steady blue. If
you do not see a continuous blue color, contact technical support.
The status of the other LED indicators is not important at this time.
Caution: If the Power LED goes on, then turns off and
stays off, the EIS Box is not working properly! If this
power-on test fails, contact Gamry Instruments of your
local Gamry Instruments representative as soon as
possible
Ethernet Cables
The EIS Box connects to the computer using a shielded CAT5E Ethernet
cable (see figure below).
The Ethernet connection should not be "hot-plugged". This means both
the computer and the EIS Box must be powered OFF before the ethernet
cable is plugged in.
Operation via USB
The EIS Box can be run via USB. To connect the EIS Box to a USB port on
a computer:
1.
Be sure that the EIS Box is powered off and unplugged from
the AC source (mains).
2.
Unscrew the screws holding the top panel onto the chassis.
Remove the top panel of the EIS Box chassis.
Warning: Never remove the top panel of the EIS Box
while the instrument is powered on. The electrical
currents inside the EIS Box can cause severe injury.
3.
Unplug the USB connection cable from the USB Type B
(approximately square) port on the aluminum assembly
inside the EIS Box.
4.
Uncoil the USB cable affixed to the inside of the rear panel,
and connect it to the now-free USB Type B port on the
aluminum assembly.
5.
Reattach the top panel on top of the EIS Box chassis.
6.
Connect your computer to the external USB Type B port on
the rear panel of the EIS Box (see image above), using a USB
cable.
Cell Cable Installation
The Cell Cables connect pairwise to two 15-pin D-type connectors
located on the front of the EIS Box (see Figure 4-1) for each channel.
There are two cables per channel: one that carries the cell current, called
