Waveform

A waveform is a series of steps, defined as points on a plot of potential vs. time. The waveform is repeated continually throughout the run. A waveform must be defined when using the Dionex electrochemical detector in Integrated Amperometry Mode.

The waveform period is the elapsed time from the first step in the waveform to the last.

In the example waveform below, the potentials (labeled E1, E2, and E3) are applied for durations t1, t2, and t3, respectively. The signal is measured at E1 by integrating the current for a fixed time (ts).
