1. Polarization curve
It can complete linear polarization curve and Tafel plot measurements. The user can set the anodic reversal current (passivation film breakdown current) of the cyclic polarization curve to determine material's pitting potential and protection potential and evaluate the its susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. The software employs non-linear fitting to analyze polarization curve, and can make fast evaluation of material's anti-corrosion ability and inhibitors.

2. Voltammetry
It can do the following electroanalysis methods: Linear Sweep Voltammetry(LSV), Cyclic Voltammetry(CV), Staircase Cyclic Voltammetry(SCV), Square wave voltammetry(SWV), Differential Pulse Voltammetry(DPV), Normal Pulse Voltammetry(NPV), AC voltammetry(ACV), Stripping voltammetry etc. It integrates calculation of peak area, peak current and standard curve analysis.

3. Electrochemical Noise
With high-resistance follower and zero-resistance ammeter, it measures the natural potential/currentfluctuations in corrosion system. It can be used to study pitting corrosion, galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking etc. Through noise spectrum, we can evaluate the inducement, growth and death of metastable pitting and crack. Based on calculation of noise resistance and pitting index, it can complete localized corrosion monitoring.

4. Full floating measurement
All CS potentiostats/galvanostats can switch between the floating and earthing modes, and this strategy is beneficial for studying electrochemical systems in which the working electrodes are intrinsically ground, such as autoclaves, in-site concrete structures and multi-working electrodes requiring isolation, etc.
5. User-defined sequence test
CS Studio 6.0 for Windows software supports user-defined sequence tests ("combination test"), which can facilitate automatic testing according to user-defined experiment sequences.
Sequence Test: corrosion tests
Sequence Test: Pseudocapacitor tests
6. Power booster
Through CS2020B/CS2040B/CS2100B booster, the CS potentiostats can extend their output current up to ±20A/40A/100A, meeting the growing requirements in fuel cells, power batteries, electroplating and
The compliance voltage of single-channel potentiostat can be customized(±30V),suitable for carbon/nitrogen electrochemical reduction.
7. Software development kit (SDK)
All CS potentiostats run under the control of CS Studio 6.0 for Windows (CSS 6.0). The CSS6.0 supports third-party languages, such as LabVIEW, C, C++, C#, VC, Python and others. Some API general interfaces and development examples can be supplied with the CS potentiostats. Through the SDK, customers can implement user-defined test methods.
8. Real-time data saving
CSS 6.0 saves experimental data timely, even if the experiment is accidentally interrupted by a power failure or computer shutdown. CSS 6.0 supports several data formats compatible with Originpro and Microsoft Excel.
9. Versatile data analysis functions
CSS 6.0 provides robust functions, including various electrochemical measurements and data analysis. It can complete Tafel plot fitting, CV derivation, integration and peak height analysis, EIS equivalent circuit fitting, etc.
