MultEchem systems allow multiple instruments to share a single software license and be run from a single computer. The system utilizes a USB dongle to activate the software license across all instruments.
Computers with Serial ports are become increasingly rare. However, many research instruments still rely on this very simple communication protocol. The USB-to-Serial adapter addresses the problem of the physical connection, but software must still be manually configured to interface with the device by a COM port number.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful technique that utilizes a small amplitude, alternating current (AC) signal to probe the impedance characteristics of a cell.
Linear polarization resistance (LPR) is a quick, nondestructive testing technique commonly used in material corrosion studies to gain corrosion rate data.
USB ports where the dongle does not engage tightly can result in Microsoft Windows detecting the dongle but not properly reading the dongle serial number
Authorization Codes activate your Gamry Software to work with your potentiostat. Each of the software packages has a package name (e.g. “DC105” for DC Corrosion Techniques) and a 10-digit Authorization Code that is linked to the serial number of your instrument.
After updating Framework you may be prompted to update the firmware on your instruments. To begin, make sure the instruments that need a firmware update are powered on and connected to the computer via the USB cable. This guide is valid for all Reference and Interface family instruments
The flexibility of Gamry’s Framework software is largely due to its foundation built around the EXPLAIN scripting language. All of the experiments run in Framework are 
written in EXPLAIN and the source code is available to the user for modification. Working with the scripting language is not difficult, but some computer programming experience, and especially experience with object-oriented languages, will be most beneficial. The following documents can assist the user with making some basic modifications to the scripts. A comprehensive syntax guide is built into the Framework software under the Help resources.
