Hardware Installation and Con�guration
Install the IMX8 Multiplexer cell cables
Each cell to be tested in an experiment requires a cell cable.
The IMX8 comes with eight 1.5 m long cell cables (985-00038).
Connect the 9-pin D-sub connector of the cell cables to the
mating cell cable connectors numbered from1 to 8 on the front
panel of the IMX8 and hand-tighten the jackscrews.
The other cable end has Gamry's standard banana plug/alligator
clip termination to connect to a cell.
Connect your IMX8 to a Gamry potentiostat
When using either a Reference 600+/620 or Interface 1000/1010
potentiostat, a standard 1.5 m long interface cable (985-00080) is
required to couple the potentiostat to your IMX8.
Connect the male 9-pin D-sub connector to the mating Pstat
connector on the front of the IMX8. The male 25-pin D-sub
connector plugs into the mating Cell Cable connecotor of your
potentiostat.
For Reference 3000 potentiostats, an additional Y-cable
(985-00108) is required. Connect the double-end of the Y-cable
to the mating Counter/Working and Sense Inputs on the front
of the Reference 3000.
The standard interface cable (985-00080) is then connected to
the Y-cable's single-end. Connect the male 9-pin D-sub
connector of the interface cable to the mating Pstat connector
on the front of the IMX8.
Test your IMX8 Multiplexer in Gamry Framework
1) Make sure that your computer and IMX8 Multiplexer are turned on.
2) Open the Framework software and choose Experiment > Utilities > Multiplexer Con�gure and Test.
3) Select the function Mux Test and choose the Multiplexer to test.
4) Verify that all eight amber LEDs on the front of the IMX8 illuminate in sequence two times.
Set channel state of your IMX8 Multiplexer
1) Make sure that your computer and IMX8 Multiplexer are turned on.
2) Open the Framework software and choose Experiment > Utilities > Multiplexer Con�gure and Test.
3) Select the function Set Channel and choose the Multiplexer.
4) Turn on/offindividual channels, set their potential state, or specify an active channel.
Note: Only the amber LED of the channel that is currently running is illuminated.
Connect Power Adapter and USB Cable
On the rear side of your IMX8 Multiplexer is the Power In connector located which connects to the
supplied AC Adapter with its male 3-pin DIN connector. The other end of the power supply connects to an
AC line cord which can be plugged into your AC Mains supply. The power supply is rated for operation from
100 to 240 V AC and 47 to 63 Hz. It should therefore be universally useful.
Note: Use only Gamry-approved power adapters with your IMX8 Multiplexer. Other power sources may alter
the performance and safety characteristics of your IMX8 Multiplexer.
Your IMX8 Multiplexer is supplied with a standard High Speed USB A/B cable. Connect the nearly square
connector to the USB connector on the rear side of your IMX8. The other end, a wider, rectangular connector
plugs into a USB port on your computer.
3) Press the ... button under Pair With... to open a selection window.
4) From the list, select the potentiostat you want to pair with your
IMX8 Multiplexer. Press OK to con�rm.
5) The Gamry Instrument Manager displays now the paired potentiostat.
Pair your IMX8 Multiplexer with a potentiostat
Gamry Framework software offers two different methods to pair your IMX8 with a potentiostat.
Method 1:
1) Make sure that your computer, IMX8 Multiplexer, as well as your potentiostat are turned on.
2) Open the Framework software and choose Experiment > Utilities > Multiplexer Con�gure and Test.
3) Select the function Mux Pair.
4) Choose the Multiplexer and then the potentiostat to pair with. Con�rm your selection.
Method 2:
1) Make sure that your computer, IMX8 Multiplexer, as well as your potentiostat are turned on.
