Abstract
A digital potentiostat for monitoring energy produced by a system under test (SUT) comprising: a connection port configured to be connected to the SUT, wherein the SUT comprises an anode and a cathode; a plurality of current-measurement resistors, each having a known resistance, wherein one of the current-measurement resistors is designated as an optimal resistor; a switch operatively coupled to the plurality of current-measurement resistors; and a microcontroller operatively coupled to the connection port and to the switch, wherein the microcontroller is configured to monitor energy produced by the SUT by measuring a SUT output voltage across the optimal resistor, and wherein the microcontroller is further configured to direct the switch to change which current-measurement resistor is designated as the optimal resistor based on measured changes in the energy produced by the SUT.
