Cell Cable Installation

The Cell Cable connector is a 25-pin female D-connector on the front of the Interface 1010.
Cell Cable connector
All Gamry standard cell cables have a 25-pin D-connector on one end and a number of leads terminated with
banana plugs on the other. The D-connector end of the cable is connected to the Cell Cable port on the front
of the Interface 1010. Always use the knurled screws on this cable to hold the cable in place.
A wide variety of cell cables are available for the Interface 1010. These include shielded cables in various
lengths and special cables for use in EIS systems where very low impedances must be measured. The Interface
1010 can automatically detect which Gamry Instruments cable is connected, and the Gamry Framework
software can then adjust the system performance for the characteristics of that cable.

Front Panel USB LED

The front panel USB LED provides a simple test of two aspects of normal Interface 1010 USB operation. It has
four normal states:
Unlit The USB cable is disconnected, or the USB connection is disabled by the host computer.
Continuous A valid cable connection has been made and the Interface 1010 USB processor is receiving
green power from the USB cable.
Flashing yellow Valid USB messages are being transferred between the computer and the Interface 1010.
Continuous red A software download is in progress, or a USB communications error.
The flashing state only occurs when Gamry Instruments application software is running.

Running the Framework

Many newer electrochemical applications do not run as an application within Gamry's Framework software.
This is true of all applications that use Gamry's Toolkit for instrument control. Gamry's Framework software is
the main application software for performing routine analysis associated for electrochemical measurements.
There are other software programs such as Resonator that are stand-alone programs. Programs that you develop
using our toolkits will fall into the stand-alone software category.
The Framework Instrument Manager is useful in organizing the potentiostats in the system. The Framework also
has a Calibration program that is used to calibrate instruments connected to the system.

Framework Device Status Bar

By default, the Gamry Framework shows a Device Status Bar under its main menu (see Figure 3-3). If you do
not see the Device Status Bar when you run the Gamry Framework, it has been disabled in the Framework
Options menu.
