WinChem Control and Evaluation Software for the Time Domain

Time domain analysis

For users of our POT/GAL electrochemical test interfaces for the Alpha-A, WinCHEM is the software of choice to perform and analyze voltage and current measurements in the time domain. WinCHEM allows you to define a large variety of voltage or current profiles as a function of time and to monitor the complementary property, current or voltage. Its enormous flexibility allows you to freely define a large number of different experiments and to vary experimental conditions in wide ranges.

WinCHEM Features:

Full support of all POT/GAL experiments and features in the time domain
Supports arbitrary voltage and current waveforms for potentiostatic and galvanostatic experiments, respectively.
Imports external waveforms from text files
Uniform graphical user inferface similar to our WinDETA software for the frequency domain
Graphical online display of measured data, temperature curve and system status
Integrated plot software to display multiple data sets in a single graph, 3D diagrams
Exports/imports data in several flexible user-defined text formats
Automatic calibration of measurement devices
Easy set-up and repetition of experiments via preset files

Supported Techniques and Methods:

All types of measurements under potentiostatic conditions
All types of measurements under galvanostatic conditions
