A Cyclic Voltammetric Simulator for Windows

摘要

DigiSim 2.0 is one of about four commercially available packages for electrochemical digital simulation. It is limited to cyclic voltammetry (CV), but CV is by far the most commonly used technique for electrochemical mechanistic studies. DigiSim 2.0 will simulate CV for any complex (but sensible) mechanism for a great variety of electrode geometries (including the rotating-disk electrode) and semi-infinite or confined diffusion space with either an open-ended or blocked . outer boundary. Results can be printed out or plotted, and data files can be written to disk for later comparison. DigiSim 2.0 can also fit parameters to actual experimental CV curves. Installation instructions were simple, and I encountered no problems on our 486-based system. The program creates its own directory and icons on the Windows screen. Documentation consists of a manual thin enough for most users to want to read it, as well as hypertext help files. Most of the manual can probably be skipped, at least until you get stuck.
