The commands Export and Export all Simulations open a standard Windows File dialog box for specifying the path and the name of the file to which the data are exported. The first command exports only the active simulation while the second command starts a loop that enables the user to export all simulations involved in the active simulation document file by file. Two export filters are available:
Export Filter: User Format (*.use)
Both the simulated current curve and the simulation parameters (electrode geometry and area, species concentration etc.) will be exported in use-format.
Description of the use-file format:
DigiElch_SW_Header
experimental parameters:
key_word_1: Value_1
key_word_2: Value_2
.
.
species parameters:
[name of species_1] (M/l): Canal_1
[name of species_2] (M/l): Canal_2
.
.
experimental SW-data:
number of E (V), I1 (A) | I2 (A) couples : N
E1_1 , I1_1
E2_1 , I2_1
E1_2 , I1_2
E2_2 , I2_2
.
.
E1_N , I1_N
E2_N , I2_N
oDigiElch_SW_Header
source program: DigiElch for Windows
program version: 3.0
file type: SW
okey_word_i and Value_i
key word and value referring to the i-th parameter. The value must be in point-format and separated from the key word by a colon. The key words are the same as the parameter names used on the Property Page: Simulation Parameters. For example,
Pre-Equilibrium: enabled
Diffusion: Semi-Infinite 1D
Geometry: Planar
Area (cm²): 0.05
Ru (Ohm): 0
Cdl (F): 0
Temp. (K): 298.2
C1 (F/V): 0
C2 (F/V²): 0
C3 (F/V³): 0
C4 (F/V²V²): 0
Potential steps (V): 0.001
Estart (V):-0.75
Segment: 1
Eend (V): -1.55
f (Hz): 100
Segment: 2
Eend (V): -0.75
f (Hz): 100
oname of species_i and Canal_i
the name of the i-th species in brackets and the analytical concentration in point-format. For example
[NiL] (M/l): 0.001
[NiL-] (M/l): 0
[DP] (M/l): 0.1
[NiLDP] (M/l): 0
[NiLDP-] (M/l): 0
oN
the number of data couples
oE1_i and I1_i
numbers (separated by comma) representing the Voltage-Current-couple associated with the i-th forward step
oE2_i and I2_i
numbers (separated by comma) representing the Voltage-Current-couple associated with the i-th backward step
E1_i and E2_i are the potential values to which the current points, I1_i and I2_i, refer.
Export Filter: E-I-Couples (*.txt)
Only the simulated current curve but not the simulation parameters (electrode geometry and area, species concentration etc.) will be exported in the following form:
simulated data:
number of E (V), I (A) couples: N
E_1 separator I_1
E_2 separator I_2
E_3 separator I_3
E_4 separator I_4
.
.
E_N separator I_N
oN
the number of data couples
oSeparator
one of the following characters: 'Space', 'Tab', 'Comma' or 'Semicolon'
oE_i and I_i are numbers representing the i-th Voltage-Current-couple
oE_i refers to (E1_i + E2_i) / 2 where E1_i and E2_i are defined in the above picture.
o I_i depends on the selected plotting option.
Numbers can be formatted using either point or comma. The formatting of numbers and type the separator can be specified under Export Data (*.txt) on the Properties window.
Note that data are always exported in classical current convention (i.e. cathodic current is positive).
