DigiElch8 Help

•Command: Edit                
Edit the simulation parameters referring to the active simulation.

•Command: Duplicate
Combination of Copy, Paste & Edit.

•Command: Run                        
Run a simulation using the default fixed-grid simulator.

•Command: Adaptive Grid Simulator
Run a simulation using the adaptive-grid simulator.
 
Note that the current version of DigiElch only supports CPS-Simulations for 1D-semi-infinite diffusion.
 

•Command: Pause                
Pause or continue the currently running active simulation.

•Command: Break
Break  the currently running active simulation.
 

•Command: Compare              
Copy the active simulation and the currently selected active experiment to the Tab-Window: Compare Curves to show a direct comparison of both.

•Command: Circles                
The active current curve is plotted in the form of open circles.  

•Command: Filled Circles
The active current curve is plotted in the form of filled circles.

•Command: Min/Max Info
Show the E-I-couple referring to the minimum/maximum found in a mouse drawn rectangle on the screen display.  

•Command: Plot Graph
Plot data obtained by means of Min/Max Info (or by selecting a  a particular current point by double clicking on the active current curve)  as function of scan rate, electrode size, species concentration etc. The graph is displayed in the Tab-Window: Plot Graph. See Plot Graph command for CV, CA and SW for more details.

•Command: Compute
Opens a dialog box that enables the user to compute data (for instance, the differences of peak potentials)  from the Min/Max Info displayed on the screen.

•Command: Next Scan Segment
Activate the next scan segment If the active simulation consists of more than one.

•Clipboard Command: Copy        
Copy the active simulation and put the copy on the clipboard.

•Clipboard Command: Cut
Cut the active simulation and put it on the clipboard.

•Clipboard Command: Paste
Paste clipboard content into the Tab-Window: Simulations.

•Command: RAM-Disk              
Open a dialog box showing the actual content of the RAM-Disk. The RAM-Disk stores data in use-file format and can be used, for instance, to export  CPS-simulations shown in the Tab-Window: Simulations to the Tab-Window: Experiments. In this way experimental curves can be mimicked by simulated ones, for instance, in order to investigate how systematic errors such as noise are passed to individual parameter values when using these files in a fitting project.

•RAM-Disk Command: Export
Export the active simulation to the RAM-Disk        

•RAM-Disk Command: Add all Simulation to RAM-Disk        
Export all simulations shown in the Tab-Window: Simulations in use-format and stores the use-files in the RAM-Disk.

•File Command: Export        
Export the active simulation as txt-file. Depending on the selected Option: Plot (see below) the export works analogously as described for CV-, CA- or SW-simulations.

•File Command: Export all Simulations        
Export all simulations  shown in the Tab-Window: Simulations as txt-files. Depending on the selected Option: Plot (see below) the export works analogously as described for CV-, CA- or SW-simulations.

Note that the use-file format is not supported for CPS-simulations/experiments because (int the way implemented by DigiElch) there is no other manufacturer of electrochemical hardware providing support for this type of experiments.Transferring CPS-simulations/experiments from DigiElch to DigiElch can be more easily accomplished in the form of DigiElch-Prroject/ Document files or RAM-Disk files.

•Command: Next        
The next current curve is activated.  

•Command: Previous
The previous current curve is activated.  

•Command: Delete Active Simulation  
Delete the active simulation.  

•Command: Delete All Simulations
Delete all simulations shown in the Tab-Window: Simulations.

•Command: Zoom
Zoom the screen display of the rectangle drawn by holding down the left mouse button. The zoom command can be repeatedly applied.

•Command: Unzoom
Undo the last zoom command.

•Command: Refresh
Remove Min/Max-Info and redraws the screen display.
 

•Option: Plot
