I have been setting up an EIS system using a Solartron 1260 in conjunction with the 1287 model and a Princeton Research Flat 3 electrode cell. From my understanding, the 1287 is hooked up to the 1260 via ports in the back of the console (Pol in, V out, and I out from the 1287 to Gen input, V1HI and V2HI on the 1260 resepctively). Both of these are attached to a PC using the GPIB interface and are run with ZPlot/ZView.
I am fairly certain that the 1260 is in working condition (after comparing it with a similar HP model) but am not sure about the 1287. I was wondering if there was any alternate configurations for the potentiostat?
This setup has yeilded no useful data, but is what other researchers have done in the past (including the Technote 31 from Solartron).
