8.2.1.1 – Software implementation
DC measurements with the PGSTAT in combination with the LED Driver can be
performed using a NOVA procedure. The light intensity can be controlled using
the Control external device (DAC) command, as explained in Section 5.1.1.
This command can be combined in a measurement with a LSV staircase or LSV
staircase galvanostatic command, depending on the experimental conditions.
Under potentiostatic condition, it is common practice to start the scan a 0 V
(short-circuit conditions) and stop the scan when the current becomes zero
(open circuit conditions). An example of a procedure for this type of measurement
is shown in Figure 47.
