QUESTION: I just bought [https://www.edaq.com/EPU353 EPU353] isoPod for pH/ISE from eDAQ. How could I use this isoPod for ISE if I have separate ion selective electrode and reference electrode?  The isoPod has only 1 BNC plug connection. Where could I connect the reference electrode? Or do I need to make my new ISE with the build-in reference electrode, similar to a conventional pH electrode probe?

ANSWER: There is information about this at https://www.edaq.com/EPU353 and the attached manual.

The manual says “Half cell electrodes require the use of a separate reference electrode which can be connected to the shell of the input BNC connector.” This means you need a T piece like https://www.edaq.com/EC010  you should be able to buy one locally rather than buying from eDAQ. You connect the measuring ISE to the inner pin of the BNC, and the reference electrode to the outer shell of the BNC.

You can learn more about the isoPods by looking at our range of isoPods, videos, and manuals.

Where can I find a driver for my eDAQ hardware?

The drivers are on the installation software thumb drives and CDs that are sent from eDAQ. When you install the software, the driver will be copied onto the computer.

The drivers are also found here and on the installation file when you download the software from the software download page

Do you happen to have any LabVIEW script for any of our USB-devices (EPU / ER815) which may be helpful to point a LabVIEW user in the right direction ?

Basically any eDAQ product which supports our serial protocol such as the isoPods, HV sequencer, Waveform generator etc can be controlled by NI LabVIEW - and other software like C++. LabVIEW has facilities to access and communicate via a virtual serial port such as used by edaq devices.

File:LabVIEW isoPod.zip is a simple example of a LabVIEW Vi that was written as an example - ( it is not proven). eDAQ can provide advice and support on its serial protocol but eDAQ does not provide NI instruments in support of its devices.
