Description
The 7-port USB 3.0 hub and the 6 USB-A to USB-C adapters, allow you to connect 6 Sensit Smart potentiostats to your notebook or PC, via a single USB 3.0 cable. The remaining USB-port, can optionally be used to connect to another hub to add another 6 Sensit Smart potentiostats called daisy-chaining. The hub is backward compatible with both USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards, so can also be used in conjunction with older PCs that don’t feature USB 3.0 ports. The hub can also be used as a charging port for other PalmSens instruments. Use the included power adapter for connecting 10+ Sensit Smarts.
MultiTrace is the research software that allows performing multiple electrochemical experiments at the same time. Each channel can function independently run a different measurement, or all channels can perform simultaneously the same experiment.
The physical form of the hub and position of USB ports affords sufficient space for larger devices or equipment to be connected without cables becoming excessively tangled. The product dimensions are 86 x 86 x 14 mm. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 compliant, the hub supports data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps.
The compact design, stylish metal housing and low 85g weight, make this hub an ideal companion both at home and on the move. The addition of a power adapter means battery-sapping activities such as data transfer or charging can also be handled using mains power. No drivers are required, simply plug & play.
Package includes:
- 7-port USB hub
- 6 USB-A to USB-C converters
- EU / UK Power adapter
When ordering from the US an adapter will be provided.

Software
MultiTrace for Windows
The MultiEmStat4 comes with MultiTrace for Windows. MultiTrace allows the instrument to be controlled in two different modes: Individual and Simultaneous channel control mode.
Individual mode
The individual mode gives an overview of all channels. Each channel can be selected separately and can run a measurement independently in parallel with other channels. You can also run a script for a sequence of measurements and other actions on each channel.
Simultaneous mode
In the Simultaneous Mode the MultiEmStat4 works with all channels running the same measurement in parallel at the same time. There is only one active method in the Method Editor which is started on all selected channels simultaneously upon start. All results are presented as overlays in the same plot.
Software Development Kits
PalmSens provides several Software Development Kits (SDKs) to help developers create custom software to control their potentiostat. Each SDK comes with documentation and examples that shows how to use the libraries.
SDKs are available for:
- .NET (WinForms, WPF and Xamarin for Android)
- Python
- LabVIEW
- Matlab
MethodSCRIPT™ communications protocol
The MultiEmStat4-series work with MethodSCRIPT™, giving you full control over your potentiostat channels. The simple script language is parsed on-board, which means no DLLs or other type of code libraries are required. MethodSCRIPT™ allows for running all supported electrochemical techniques, making it easy to combine different measurements and other tasks.
MethodSCRIPT can be generated, edited, and executed in PSTrace.
MethodSCRIPT features includes:
- (Nested) loops and conditional logic support
- User code during a measurement iteration
- Exact timing control
- Simple math operations on variables (add, sub, mul, div)
- Data smoothing and peak detection
- Digital I/O, for example for waiting for an external trigger
- Logging results to internal storage or external SD card
- Reading auxiliary values like pH or temperature
- and many more…
