Versatility:

The ZIVE MP1’s system comes with one additional analog input(auxiliary voltage input). Each channel can work on same or different experiment at the same time. This model can interface with ZB series external booster for high current applications. By using an USB hub, the 4 channel system can be expanded to a 8-, and 16-channel system, whereas 8 channel system to 16- and 32-channel system.

Safety:

When communication failure occurs between a PC and ZIVE MP1, the running channels will continue experiments and, at the same time, save the data into ZIVE memory up to 295,000 data point set. When the communication is recovered, ZIVE MP1 will transfer saved data to the PC. User can transfer data set from ZIVE MP1 to PC at any time. This function is highly efficient for long-term experiment and protects experiments from unexpected PC failure.
Users can define safety condition setting by inputting his/her own safety levels for voltage, and current etc. If the measurement value exceeds the setting value, the system will automatically stop to protect the system and cell.
If the control value of voltage or current is different from the measured value, the experiment will stop automatically to protect the cell.
Automatic calibration function is supplied for user calibration.

Maintenance:

- The system has its own hardware parameters and calibration data.
- Each channel is plug & play type and easy to install or to be removed.
