Bio-Logic - Science Instruments software
EC-Lab® Express V5 software
Easy-to-use electrochemistry software for new users and fast setups
 
All our current potentiostats/galvanostats (except the VMP) are supplied with the 32-bits Windows-based EC-Lab® Express electrochemistry software (NT, 2000, XP and Vista).

EC-Lab Express was originally designed to be an easy-to-use educational package aimed at introducing new users to electrochemical testing techniques. It contains more than 25 techniques and has the ability to sequence up to 100 experiments to create unique test programs. It will also generate and increment the file name automatically.

EC-Lab Express has evolved into a stand alone, easy-to-use basic package with unique features and advanced functions.

EC-Lab® V9 software
Our powerful, friendly software platform
 

All our current potentiostats/galvanostats (except the SP-50) are supplied with the 32-bits Windows-based EC-Lab® electrochemistry software (NT, 2000, XP and Vista).

EC-Lab® performs a variety of electrochemical techniques from basic electrochemistry to corrosion/impedance to battery test. Each of the techniques provides flexible user input, technique specific plotting formats, and data analysis tools.
With more than 45 techniques available, EC-Lab® can address all electrochemical application area.

The graphic utilities in EC-Lab® are particularly advanced. They offer two-axes representations on Y1 and Y2 and contain a number of powerful and easy-to-use analysis tools. The simultaneous display of several graphs allows the user to follow an active experiment while analyzing data acquired previously.

EIS modeling is included using the well known circuit descriptor approach. More than 140 circuits with two minimization algorithms are available. The user can also define and built his own circuit model.

EC-Lab® development package & LabVIEW® drivers
 
The free EC-Lab® development package is for software developers who need to integrate the control of the Bio-Logic potentiostats/galvanostats/EIS in an OEM software.

This package supports the following instruments:

  • SP-150
  • VSP
  • VMP3
  • HCP-803
  • BiStat
  • VMP2
  • BiStat

The EC-Lab® development package includes a DLL with specific functions for:

  • Connection / disconnection to a selected instrument (Ethernet or USB)
  • Initialization of the channels by loading the firmware
  • Loading protocols on the channels
    • open circuit voltage
    • cyclic voltammetry
    • chrono-amperometry
    • chrono-potentiometry
    • potentiostatic impedance
    • galvanostatic Impedance
    • pulse potentiometry
    • pulse amperometry
    • constant power
    • constant load
    • staircase potentiostatic impedance
    • staircase galvanostatic impedance
  • Start/stop the selected channel(s)
  • Retrieving data

The EC-Lab® development package also includes a LLB LabVIEW® library where the functions of the DLL are implemented.

A Pascal test program and LabVIEW® examples (VIs) are also provided to help the user in the integration of the library in his application.

Notes:

  • In principle, any software development tool able to call a DLL is suitable for using the EC-Lab® development package (C, Pascal, LabVIEW®...). However limitations of some compilers (e.g.: data types in Visual Basic,...) may prevent a proper calling of some or all the functions.
  • The EC-Lab® development package is provided "AS IS". No specific support is provided to this free package apart from the manuals. There is no warranty for damages using is.
  • Use of the EC-Lab® development package in a commercial software is forbidden without a written authorization of Bio-Logic SAS.

If you are interested by the EC-Lab® development package, please contact us.

EC-Lab® V9.46

Notes:

  • For full versions, If the version previously installed was V8.00 or higher, you will be prompted for a fast and automatic firmware upgrade when establishing the first connection to the instrument. This firmware upgrade will be using the Ethernet connection only and thus you will not need the serial connection. If the version previously installed was V7.01 or lower, you will need to install a new firmware (included in EC-Lab full version with manuals & Tera Term Pro download) using a serial communication. See the latest VMP or VMP2 or MPG user's manual for firmware installation.
  • The setup program installs the PDF files into the "./Manual" folder ("." being the directory where the EC-Lab has been installed). Then the manual can be opened directly or with EC-Lab through the menu : "?, Manual".
