Thank you for your interest in this Gamry Instruments PCI4/300 Potentiostat / Galvanostat / ZRA This instrument is a PCI-based Potentiostat / Galvanostat / ZRA solution The PCI4 Potentiostat is a research grade electrochemical instrument compact enough to fit inside a computer It can operate as a potentiostat, a galvanostat, or a ZRA (zero resistance ammeter) depending on your needs These cards were removed from a research computer that was recently parted out The solution was working properly when it was removed, and was purchased originally at a cost of over $6000 The 61-page user manual for the PCI4 is avalible online (just search Google) if you are interested in learning more about this unit unit Please note that you WILL need two PCI (not PCI-E) card slots in the computer this is going to be installed into, and they need to be fairly close together (because of the ribbon cable connecting the two boards) This means that the best computer to install this into will most likely be a few years old. NO software is included with the cards - this auction is strictly for the PCI4/300 hardware pictured Here is some further info on the PCI4 system: The PCI4/300 and PCI4/750 are two members of Gamry Instruments’ PCI4 Potentiostat family. They share a number of characteristics with the other members of this family, especially in the areas of signal generation and signal preconditioning prior to A/D conversion. PCI4 features include 9 decade current auto-ranging, electrical isolation from earth ground, current interrupt iR compensation, and extensive filtering. A sine wave generator on the PCI4 allows its use for impedance measurements at frequencies up to 300 kHz. The PCI4 consists of two printed circuit cards that install directly into a computer. Each card requires one expansion slot in an AT compatible computer. The cards are interconnected by one ribbon cable. Depending on the number of available slots, up to four PCI4 card sets can be installed in one computer. The first card is called the Potentiostat Card. It contains the analog potentiostat circuitry and its associated isolated power supply. This card is not directly connected to the computer's AT bus, except for the 5V power and its ground. It communicates with the computer over serial lines isolated by opto-couplers on the other card. The Potentiostat card can be switched to act as a high performance Galvanostat or as a ZRA (Zero Resistance Ammeter). The second printed circuit card will be referred to as the Controller Card. It contains a PCI bus interface, optocoupled serial transfer logic, an isolated power supply, a signal generator, and a high performance measurement system.
