This command opens a Windows File dialog box. The current curve(s) involved in the selected ASCII-file(s) will be merged to the existing ones when setting the Option: Import Data in the Property-Window correspondingly. Otherwise, all curves in the Tab-Window: Experiments will be removed before importing the selected file(s).
the full use-format contains the current curve and a full description of the experimental parameters. The latter must be written to the file in exactly the same form as on the Property Page: Simulation Parameters: DigiElch_CV_Header experimental parameters: key_word_1: Value_1 key_word_2: Value_2 . . [name of species_1] (M/l): Canal_1 [name of species_2] (M/l): Canal_2 . . experimental CV-data: E_1 , I_1 E_2 , I_2 . . E_N , I_N •DigiElch_CV_Header: •key_word_i and Value_i •name of species_i and Canal_i •N •E_i and I_i
Minimum use-formatData measured with third-party electrochemical instruments are usually exported in file formats which differ from instrument to instrument. The minimum use-format enables the user to produce an importable use-file with little effort. The experimental data files must satisfy the following prerequisites: •The experimental current curve is available in ASCII-format. •The current points refer to equal potential steps. Only small deviations from an equally spaced potential scan do not matter. The minimum use-format is as follows: DigiElch_CV_Header experimental CV-data: E_1 , I_1 E_2 , I_2 . . E_N , I_N
•E_i and I_i
Files in minimum use-format do not contain any information about experimental parameters such as scan rate, electrode surface, electrode geometry or species concentrations. It is therefore not possible for the fitting procedure to recognize to which parameter combination a particular experimental curve refers. Consequently, such files are useful only for viewing experimental current curves. Apply the Edit command to add the experimental parameters to each file.

This command opens a dialog box that offers the user to define an import-filter for importing data stored in an ASCII-format which is not compliant with DigiElch's use-file format.
•Selected Import-Filter oGAMRY-CV dta-files oBAS-CV txt-files oPAR-CV dat-files oAutolab-CV ocw-files oUser Defined The last one can be freely configured by the user. Use Add New if more than one user defined import filter is required. •ID-String marking begin of Data Section and Data Format •Data Format
•Assign scan segments automatically
Simply check whether the correct number of the scan Segment is assigned by DigiElch. Data referring to the first (third, fifth, etc) scan segment are plotted on a red brown background those referring to the second (fourth, sixth, etc.) scan segment are plotted on a cyan background. In this way the automatically assigned switching points can be easily detected. In the above example (left picture) the latter was found by DigiElch to be be at 1.6188 V. If the user wants to make the fist scan segment ending at 1.6459 V he must simply enter "1" as scan index index for the corresponding voltage/current couple as shown in the middle picture.
