Option of using (for IR-compensation) measured ohmic resistance value is turned on. Please check that the option of using IR-compensation is turned on in all next-used work steps where it is necessary. If error (overload) will take place during R-ohmic measurement, the last successive-measured value will be used, or the user defined value will be used in the worsest case
You must be shure that more than 80% of IR-compensation using is good for your experiment. Potentiostat can loose stability in this case. It can also increase working currents and probability of using of higher current ranges. These ranges can have problems with compensation of high values of ohmic resistance (it can rise current overload of IR-compensation)

means that if the selected criterion will be reached - the whole program will be finished. All next going steps, cycles of programmer or planner files will not be performed (even if they exist)
means that if the selected criterion will be reached - the current cycle will be treated as the final one (and it will be completely performed), non-depending on how much cyles was planned to be performed. No more cycles will be performed. All next going planner files will be performed according to their parameters (if they exist).

No more cycles will be performed. All next going planner files will not be performed (even if they exist).
means that when the selected criterion is reached, the transition to the specified step will be performed. If the number of the new step is greater than the current one, the current cycle will continue. If less than or equal to, a new cycle will be started (if the current cycle is not the last one).
means that if the selected criterion will be reached - the revers of the slope (of voltage or current dynamic scan) will be performed. It will not affect any next-going steps or cycles or planner files, they will be performed according to their parameters (if they exist). 
Data to load
Experiment title (and sample amount and its units) will be stored in the flash memory of the instrument together with experiment data. They will be loaded from it together
Each string of the planner corresponds to one work file of simple work mode (*.swf) or programmer (*.spf).
These files are to be created before the experiment for the connected instrument using simple work modes redactor or programmer of this software.
All total program, created in planner, will be loaded to the instrument at work start.
Instrument will automatically workout each loaded work file.
During work, the diagramm and software will contain the experiment data of only one last performed work file.
The experimental data, recorded for each work file, will be automatically saved to individual *.edf data file imideatelly after finishing corresponding work file.
The title of each *.edf data file will contain the title of corresponding work file.
So, each work file (*.swf or *.spf) finally will correspond to one data file (*.edf).
All experiment data files will be stored in specially created folder with the name of whole experiment.
Similary to the simple work modes or programmer using, the planner working process does not need connecton to the computer after work was started.
All data recorded during planner working are stored in the flash memory of the instrument and you can download it to the software if needed after the experiment. They will be erazed only when the new experiment will be started.
Attention! The cell will not be turned OFF after the experiment. Please be carefull managing the connected sample becouse it is under an electric current and potential!
The option of non-turning the cell OFF is turned ON. But the function of OCV measurement after the experiment finishing is also turned ON and it will turn OFF the cell anyway. Please correct these parameters.
Do not turn off the Cell after this step (simple work)
R-ohmic measurement function is not applicable for the chosen work mode
R-ohmic
The function of ohmic resistance measurement is a pulse add-on for the basic non-pulse work modes. As a result of its work, the additional data points appear. The ohmic resistance is automatically calculated using them (with the specified parameters applied). This ohmic resistance can be applied for the ohmic resistance compensation if the corresponding function is turned on in next-going work steps (and if it presents in instrument). Errors in R-ohmic measurement can happen due to ranges overloads.
This function needs the OCV measurement to be performed before the current step. To increase the precision of measurement, the first applied in the current step potential should not be equal to the OCV, or the current should not be equel to zero if galvanostatic regime is used. It will increase the voltage drop along the ahmic resistance. You can use collected additional pulse data dor your own needs.
The result of R-ohmic measurement can be found in the report table for the redacted step.
The multiplier function can change one chosen parameter of the redacted simple work mode if it is a step of the programmer.
This parameter can be multiplied by the specified value or the specified value can be added to it.
Multiplication (or addition, it can also be with negative value) can repeat several times during the work process of one programmer.
Each of the steps of one programmer performs multiplication function independently from other steps.
Each programmer performs multiplication function independently and from it's own beginning, if a planner with several programmers is used.
Instrument was not detected correctly. Possible decisions: update the software, check instrument connection, check the instrument com-number to be correct.

There are no devices on the universal interface, so its analog inputs can only be used for direct current data, synchronously with current and potential data. They cannot be used for impedance, only direct current data will be stored. The analog inputs are located directly on the rectangular connector of the SmartStat instrument.
If you need an impedance on AUX electrodes, then you need to use either the SmartStart50 instrument, which has the ability to output AUX inputs directly into the cell using a six-electrode circuit (on round connectors). Or you need to connect a differential AUX electrometer. When it is detected by the SmartStat instrument, its inputs can be connected to the cell to register both direct current data and impedance.
The impedance module used to increase the operating frequency does not work in conjunction with the AUX electrodes. Do not use it if you need AUX data (DC or AC data for it).
The SmartStart50 instrument has the ability to connect AUX inputs directly to the cell using a 6-electrode circuit. This will give higher impedance frequencies compared to connecting a differential electrometer. An electrometer with this instrument will only give greater versatility of connection to the object under study.
The dual differential electrometer is connected to the universal interface. It can be used to register direct current data and impedance using a six-electrode or other circuit. When the AUX interface is enabled, the electrometer is automatically activated and used as the only source of AUX signals for DC signals and impedance.
If you need direct current data and (possibly) the impedance in the cell according to a 2,3,4-electrode circuit, and the impedance at the AUX inputs is not needed, and AUX is needed to register direct current data from external devices (without impedance), then you need to disconnect the electrometer from the SmartStat instrument and use the analog inputs of the universal interface directly from the rectangular connector of the SmartStat instrument.
The differential electrometer has two channels. If you only need one, then please connect the inputs of the second unused channel to the ground of the SmartStat instrument to avoid crosstalk and errors on it.

A temperature measurement module is connected to the universal interface.
It allows you to measure the temperature of the object under study, stop or start the experiment at a certain temperature.
When you turn on the module, an additional tab with its settings will appear in the simple works editor.

Pulse analytical method was performed. Primary current (i) data can be observed in the basic diagram as they all were recorded by the instrument. (but in galvanostatic mode - potential data).
Potential (E) data (in galvanostat i-data) were recorded only at the moments of finishing pulses, when current (i) data (in galvanostat E-data) were selected to build pulse voltamperogram. This voltamperogram can be opened in additional diagram (appears on the right).
The rest potential (E) data (in galvanostat i-data) were replaced by zeros to save memory space and guarantee registration speed.
Pulse voltamperogram data are saved in edf file together with basic (E+i) data. These pulse VA data can also be displayed in the table on the right for export and copying.

Automatic current range selection function will be performed only once. It means that if this pulse work will be used in programmer, then range selection will be performed only once (when first time met). But in planner individual single (once) current range selection function will be performed once for each file loaded in planner. Single current range selection is recommended if averaging in cycles of identical pulse voltamperograms will be performed (use programmer for averaging)
Automatic current range selection function will be performed each time when this pulse work will be used as programmer step or as file loaded in planner (disregarding that perfect current range might be already selected in some previous step). Single (once) current range selectio is recommended if averaging of identical pulse voltamperograms will be performed in several cycles (for the noise reduction)

From this potential value the potentiostatic titration will start. Or the reverse course of galvanostatic titration will finish at this potential value
The direct course of potentiostatic titration will finish at this potential value. Or the direct course of the galvanostatic titration will end when this potential value is reached
This potential value will be added each time when the potential is turned on in the potentiostatic titration. Or this current value will be set every time when the current is turned on in galvanostatic titration
During this time, the cell will be turned off and relax before each step of the potential or turning on the current
During this time, the potential stage or current value will be worked out
This is the maximum allowed operating time of the entire titration. Required for the safety of the experiment, but you need to set it with a margin and taking into account the reverse, if it is enabled
When this option is enabled, in addition to the forward titration, a reverse stroke will be performed to reach the final potential, and then return to the starting potential

The selected current-resistance range does not allow the maximum frequency of the connected instrument to be used due to physical limitations (for details, see the ANS3 document in the documentation folder). If the HF impedance of the cell really requires measurement at the maximum frequency, then run the measurement on the 2nd or 3rd I-ranges. However, the current-resistance range must necessarily correspond to the measured impedance modules.

If disabled, the potentiostat will provide safe voltage up to 15V. If enabled - its maximum polarizing voltage. Be careful with voltages over 20 V. It can damage the electrochemical cell
The signal from the additional external input connector will be additionally applied to the cell in the form of a current in the galvanostat mode or a potential in the potentiostat mode, proportional to the maximum of the selected current range or potential range, respectively
Use stability priority in the most cases. Speed is needed only in pulse modes when working on a two-electrode circuit, or in high-frequency impedance

This text of the experiment name is taken from the last row of the table in the main window for the channel being launched.
Here you can, if necessary, fix it before starting work.
This name will be loaded into the potentiostat along with the working program and stored in its flash memory.
The time and date of the experiment launch will also be saved.
Each time data is loaded from the potentiostat, the name will be loaded along with them and inserted into the last row of the table in the main window.
After downloading the data from the instrument, they will be automatically saved on the computer with this name of the working file.
It is recommended to enter a meaningful name, as this can then greatly help in the processing of experimental data.
If the name does not need to be corrected, just press "Enter" to quickly start the work.
You can disable the name query in the attribute panel at the top right of the main SmartSoft window.

There was a loss of communication between the potentiostat and the current amplifier! Check the connection of the amplifier to the potentiostat, and also whether it is turned on. After that, restart the potentiostat and reconnect in the program.
Calibration is in progress...
Calibration is performed ok
Calibration is performed and saved ok. You can work now
Calibration is FAILED!
Calibration of the current amplifier failed. Check the connection of the amplifier to the potentiostat and the connection of the measuring wires to the Test Circuit of the amplifier, restart the potentiostat and the amplifier and try to calibrate again. In case of subsequent failure, contact the manufacturer.

Ready to calibrate
Calibrate. Mandatory!
Recalibrate (optional)
A current amplifier is connected to the potentiostat, but it is not calibrated, since its calibration file has not been found. Further work is impossible. Disconnect the amplifier or calibrate it. Calibration will take less than 5 seconds and requires nothing more than connecting the measuring wires to the equivalent of a booster. If necessary, consult the amplifier manual or the manufacturer.
Connect the current wires of the amplifier and the potential wires of the potentiostat to the Test Circuit on the front panel of the amplifier according to the marking.
Click the Calibrate button and wait for the calibration to finish. The calibration process will take less than 5 seconds.
Calibration will be performed automatically. The calibration values will be saved in the memory of the potentiostat for this particular connected amplifier.
In the future, the calibration values will be taken by the program from the potentiostat automatically, and you will no longer need to calibrate your amplifier for your potentiostat (but you can do this if you want).
When transferring the program to another computer or updating it, calibrations will be stored in the potentiostat and wiil not be modified (no need to recalibrate).
When changing the potentiostat or amplifier, it is recommended to recalibrate again, otherwise the current accuracy can be reduced.
Disconnecting and connecting the amplifier to the potentiostat does not require recalibration.
The calibrations of the amplifier do not affect the calibrations of the potentiostat in any way.
