Automate IDE impedance data analysis process. Avoid copy & paste!
Step 1: Turn on Autolab and connect to the lab Dell PC.
Step 2: Setup the IDE in the Ferrari Cage.
For old IDEs (12, 16, 20):
- Open the cap.
- Put PBS inside the cap.
- Put wire inside PBS. Make sure the wire is not touching the intricate device.
- Connect CE (Counting Electrode) to mutual / shunt wire.
- Connect WE (Working Electrode) to 2/4/8/16 wire.
For new IDEs (22+):
- Remove the tape on the cap.
- Insert water into the tube with needle.
- Put wire inside the tube through the hole on the cap.
- Tilt the tube to see if there's any air bubble. If yes, insert more water to make sure the tube is filled.
- Connect WE (Working Electrode) to 2/4/8/16 wire.
Step 3: Open Nova2.1.4 software with the procedure "FRA MUX 1ch 50mV 10k-10Hz - automated".
Step 4: Change the export file-name to corresponding IDE.
E.g:
12-8-m means IDE 12, 8µm, mutual.
16-16-s means IDE 16, 16µm, shunt
Step 5: Click on the run button and wait for the test result.
Step 6: Nova2.1.4 will auto-generate a csv file for each IDE in the ASCI format. File location:Desktop/IDE-data.
Step 7: Edit the "date.csv" file to keep track of the experiment dates.
Step 8: Clean the IDE and put it back to the Lab Armor.
For all IDEs:
- Make sure the tube is filled full with solution.
- If new IDE: Add new tape on the hole of the cap to prevent water evaporation.
- Wrap the device with sealing. Stretch the sealing to ensure close contact.
- Spray oil on the tube and the incubator to prevent device getting stuck.
- Add covers on the incubator to ensure heat preservation.
Step 1: Open the jupyter notebook on terminal.
Step 2: Open the file "[20220609]TBBL-Impedance Data Analysis".
Step 3: Run Jupyter Notebook and get your awesome data graphs!
