· reverse scan direction during run: for cyclic voltammetry

· repetitive runs: automatic data save, signal averaging, delay or prompt between runs, up to 999 runs

· run status: stir, purge, iR compensation, smooth after run, RDE and SMDE control status

· macro commands: edit, save, read, and execute a series of commands

· open circuit potential measurement (Model 600, 700 and 800 series)

· iR compensation: (Model 600 series) automatic and manual compensation, solution resistance, double layer capacitance and stability test

· analog filter setting: (Model 600 and 700 series) automatic or manual setting of potential, i/V converter, and signal filters

· cell control: purge, stir, cell on, SMDE drop collection, and pre-run drop knock.

· step functions: initial and two step potentials, duration of steps and number of steps, particularly useful for electrode treatment
