If you do place your Interface 1010 within an enclosed space, make sure that the internal temperature within
that space does not exceed 45°C, the maximum ambient temperature for the Interface 1010. Be particularly
careful if a computer or other heat-dissipating equipment is mounted in the same enclosure as the Interface
1010.
The Interface 1010 is not designed for outdoor use.
Computer Requirements
Before you connect an Interface 1010 to a computer you must make sure that your computer meets these
simple requirements:
•
A computer based on one of the x86 family of Intel
processor from another vendor.
•
Microsoft Windows
above. Only the 64-bit version of these operating systems is supported.
•
A USB port that supports Full Speed (12 Mbits/second) or High Speed (480 Mbits/second) USB
transfers. It must be compatible with Revision 1.1 or Revision 2.0 of the USB specification.
Quick-start Guide for System Installation
Your shipment should have included a short document entitled Quick-Start Installation Guide—USB
Potentiostat. It contains the latest instructions for installing Gamry hardware and software onto a computer
system. If this document is missing, you can find it on www.gamry.com. The Quick-start Guide found at
www.gamry.com
contains the latest information concerning system installation, so the information provided
below is always subject to change.
Software Installation
The Interface 1010 is compatible with the Windows
hardware, it is best if you install the software for the Interface 1010 before you install the potentiostat
hardware.
The latest Gamry software is not provided on a DVD anymore but is now available for download as *.exe or
*.iso file on Gamry Instruments' Client Portal after creating an account and registering your instrument:
https://www.gamry.com/client-portal/my-account/
An internet download of Gamry Instruments' software will download a self-extracting file. Running this file will
extract the software and begin the installation.
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. USB device drivers are usually loaded when Windows
may not be able to use your Interface 1010 until the drivers are loaded.
Installation of the device 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.
