ZIVE BP2C,  the dual channel potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA/FRA, is to support dual working electrodes cell with one reference and one counter electrode configuration(bi-potentiostat) for sample characterization simultaneously or independently with the complete DC and impedance test. This system can be also used for application which each channel has 2,3,4 electrode configuration. System is designed under FPGA and DSP control with high speed capability with   DAC control: Two set of high speed 16 bit DAC(50MHz) for offset & scanning & one set                             of 16 bit DAC(1MHz) for auxiliary analog output control ADC Reading: Two set of 16 bit 500kHz ADC for reading voltage/current and 4 channel                             16 bit 250kHz ADCs for auxiliary data input such as temperature,                             auxiliary voltage etc. It can provide high frequency EIS, fast pulse                             techniques with options and high speed sampling time.   ZIVE BP2C's each channel is equipped with a frequency response analyzer(FRA) for system as standard and it provides high performance impedance measurements over the frequency range 10uHz to 1MHz.  ZRA(zero resistance ammeter) function can measure max 2 A in galvanic corrosion technique. ZIVE BP2C can be easily upgraded with  adding optional application software package without returning the system to the factory for upgrade  Versatility ZIVE BP2C¡¯s each channel comes with additional three analog inputs (auxiliary voltage input) and 1 analog output, whereas 3 digital outputs and 2 digital inputs and one temperature input for K type thermocouple. It will help user expand the usage of instrument. For example, 1.  User can measure the voltage between working electrode and counter electrode and between counter electrode and reference electrode adding to measurement between working electrode and reference electrode using 2 additional analog inputs(auxiliary voltage inputs). 2. Using analog output, it can control rotating speed of rotator, MFC flow rate etc. by +/-10V full scale.   3.  User can control on/off of max 3 devices by DO etc.    Safety 1.  When communication failure between PC and ZIVE BP2C occurs, running channel will continue the experiments and save the data into ZIVE memory up to 295,000 data point set. When the communication is recovered, ZIVE will transfer saved data to PC. User can transfer data set from ZIVE to PC anytime. This function will be highly efficient for long time experiment.   2. User can define safety condition setting by inputting his/her own safety levels for voltage, current, temperature etc. If the measurement value exceeds this setting value, the system will automatically stop to protect the system and cell. 3.  If control value of voltage or current is different from measured value, the experiment will be stop automatically to protect the cell.   4.  Automatic calibration function is supplied for user calibration. The system is controlled from a PC via USB or an Ethernet connection(Future function).    Maintenance 1.  The system has its own hardware parameters and calibration data. 2.  The channel is plug & play type and easy to install or to be removed (just plug-in or plug out).   Application ZIVE BP2C   Bipotentiostat/dual channel electrochemical workstation is ideal for bio sensor research, FET sensor, permeation test etc. This can be used for fundamental research in electrochemistry, development and quality assurance of new sensors, corrosion/coatings, electrode material, membrane, conducting polymer, evaluation power device research such as battery materials, fuel cells, super capacitors and solar cells.   Software (SmartManager)   ZIVE BP2C  dualhannel electrochemical workstation use Smart Manager software.
