A PC-based general program for the simulation and analysis of cyclic voltammetric experiments.
A PC-based program, a General Program for Simulation of Cyclic Voltammetric Experiments (GPS-CV), is described. GPS-CV, written in Turbo Pascal 5.5, utilizes advances in simulation methodology that increase efficiency, allow for generality of mechanism, and include IR drop and capacitive current effects. An accessible user interface is used, and a graphical analysis program is provided. Cyclic voltammograms for nearly any mechanism can be simulated by the user. A companion program, CVFIT, combines the GPS-CV program with a least-squares fit by simplex minimization to give the best-fit parameters, with error estimates. The use of CVFIT is demonstrated with a three-parameter fit of experimental cyclic voltammograms.
