7. Measurement of the Redox Potential

If you use a gold electrode or a platinum electrode as counter electrode, there is a very simple way to measure the redox potential. Simply remove the counter electrode terminal from the counter electrode, and connect CE to the WE terminal. Then switch the potentiostat to rest potential measurement (operating selector to -Er at our potentiostats). The potential of the noble-metal electrode now is the redox-potential.
