ABSTRACT:
A basic electronic unit, an integrated electronic system, and the associated software program for coupled multielectrode electrochemical devices or sensors. The basic electronic unit uses different values of resistors for coupling the multiple electrodes in an electrochemical device or a sensor, so that the effective value of the coupling resistance can be dynamically changed according to the magnitude of the measured coupling current during the measurement. This feature allows the electronic unit to measure a wide range of coupling currents without compromising the principle that the coupled multielectrode electrochemical device simulates the one-piece metal behavior. The integrated electronic system uses several basic electronic units, so that it can simultaneously measure several independent multielectrode electrochemical devices or sensors that have a small number of electrodes, or measure one or more multielectrode devices or sensors that have a large number of electrodes. The software gives users the ability to change the data acquisition parameters dynamically during the measurements.
