Electrodes are among the critical components of neural stimulation devices. Investigating electrode properties like electrode impedance, charge injection capacity, and electrode corrosion limits plays an important role in electrode development. There are many commercial devices available for this purpose. Although useful, these devices are usually expensive and often offer more functions than required. We propose a versatile setup, composed of a LabVIEW program, a National Instruments multifunctional board, and a circuit built of discrete commercial elements. The system offers basic functions used in electrochemical investigation like current and voltage injection, cyclic voltammetry, and impedance spectroscopy. It offers the functionalities of both a potentiostat and an arbitrary waveform generator. It has already been applied elsewhere.
电极是神经刺激装置的关键部件之一。研究电极特性，如电极阻抗、电荷注入容量和电极腐蚀极限，在电极开发中起着重要作用。有许多商业设备可用于此目的。虽然这些设备很有用，但通常价格昂贵，而且功能往往超出需求。我们提出了一种通用装置，它由一个LabVIEW程序、一块美国国家仪器公司的多功能板以及一个由分立商业元件构成的电路组成。该系统提供了电化学研究中使用的基本功能，如电流和电压注入、循环伏安法和阻抗谱。它兼具恒电位仪和任意波形发生器的功能。该装置已在其他地方得到应用。
