-\section{Overview \& Performance}
-\pagenumbering{arabic}
-
-The dual galvanostat is designed to force a small, constant current through an electrolytic cell.
-The voltage floats to whatever is needed to maintain that current.
-The maximum rated output voltage is 13 V, although in practice the voltage may be able to float several hundred millivolts above 13.
-The positive output (red) is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to the negative return (black), in voltage.
-Each output of the dual galvanostat is independent, such that the applied voltages may be different.
-However, the current set-point of both outputs is the same.
-
-The dual galvanostat is designed to deliver relatively small currents accurately.
-These small current set-points can be crucial when driving particularly slow reactions.
-When a galvanostat is set to a current that the reaction of interest cannot support, the galvanostat will naturally swing the output voltage higher.
-Often, the galvanostat will end up driving higher-potential undesirable reactions that are more kinetically favorable.
-For this reason, this galvanostat has been designed to hold current set-points between 10 $\mu$A and 9.99 mA.
-
-\autoref{fig:setpoint} shows the agreement between the set current and actual measured current for a constant load of 100 $\Omega$.
-Note that the data is displayed on a log-log plot.
-The output and setpoint agree to within measurement error for all setpoints above 0.30 mA.
-Below this setting, however, the agreement worsens---the measured current consistently overshoots the set current.
-The absolute deviation between setpoint and measured current never exceeds 30 $\mu$A.
-Please note that the galvanostat is still capable of maintaining these low currents.
-The displayed value simply may not correspond to the actual current, so an independent calibration is warranted.
-
-\autoref{fig:load} shows the applied voltage as a function of load resistance.
-In all cases, the set current was 1 mA.
-The grey line shows ``ideal'' ohms law behavior.
-The saturation of the galvanostat at roughly 13 V can easily be seen.

-    Measured current versus set current.
-    On this log-log plot, the entire set-point range of 10 $\mu$A to 9.99 mA can clearly be seen.
-    For both outputs, agreement within measurement error is achieved from 0.30 mA to 9.99 mA.
-    Unfortunately, both outputs become nonlinear at the lowest setpoints, systematically overshooting the desired current.
-    For an unknown reason, the agreement is worse for the left-hand output.
-    All readings were taken with a load of 100 $\Omega$.

-\section{Troubleshooting}
-
-This section describes calibration and testing of the dual galvanostat.
-
-When troubleshooting or inspecting the circuit, start by testing each of the power test points.
-All power voltages should be measured relative to circuit common at test point 1.
-TP2 should be +15 V.
-TP5 should be -6 V.
-If these are not maintained, check the regulator U1, the inverter U4, and the capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, \& C5.
-C4 and C5 are electrolytic, so they may be the most suspect.
-
-There are three board-level trimpots that can be adjusted to calibrate the output of the dual galvanostat.
-Refer to the schematic and board drawings at the end of this manual to find the location of these trimpots.
-They are all three Bourns 3296 series, blue boxes with brass adjusts on the top.
-
-The first trimpot, RV4, is located near the top of the PCB.
-Adjust this trimpot while monitoring the voltage at TP6 relative to circuit common (TP1).
-Adjust the external digipot (RV3), and ensure that the voltage at TP6 corresponds directly to the setting of RV3, in mV.
-For example, when RV3 reads 999, the voltage at TP6 should be 0.999 V.
-Typically it is best to adjust this pot with RV3 set to a large number, since this gives you the most sensitivity in defining the necessary proportionality.
-
-You may find that TP6 does not respond, or that the response is not proportional to the setting of RV3.
-In this case, there may be a problem with the differential amplifier U5 or with the dual buffer U3.
-Test the voltage difference between TP3 and TP4, noting that TP3 is always equal to or more positive than TP4.
-Like TP6, the voltage between these test points should correspond to the setting of RV3, in mV.
-If you are able to confirm correct behavior at TP3 \& TP4 but not at TP6, start by verifying power and replacing U3 and U5.
-
-Both outputs of the dual galvanostat are driven directly by U6, a dual op-amp.
-Each of these has a separate trim pot for the current control, RV1 and RV2.
-After verifying correct behavior with at TP6, use a current meter placed across each output to calibrate the control resistors.
-Again, it is recommended to adjust these trim pots with RV3 set to a large number.
