Abstract
Voltammetry is widely used for fast, data-dense measurements of redox-active analytes in versatile environments, including the brain. Voltammetry requires minimalhardware beyond a potentiostat, a front-end amplifier, and a computer. Nonetheless,researchers must often develop or modify software packages for application-specific uses. Ofthe voltammetry software available, significant issues exist with source code inaccessible forupdating or customization, nonconfigurable data processing procedures, and hardwareincompatibilities. These limitations, coupled with the recent proliferation of waveform typesand increased demands for high bandwidth data acquisition and efficient data processing,create the need for sophisticated, powerful, and flexible voltammetry software. We reportdeveloping ¿SeroWare¿, an open-source, end-to-end voltammetry acquisition and analysissoftware package designed to handle a wide variety of use cases encountered byvoltammetry users. Although inspired by neurochemical analyses, this software is flexible,customizable, and compatible with open-source toolkits. The modular software architectureenables users to generate, acquire, and analyze voltammetry data of different types, rangingfrom pulse and sweep waveforms to fast and slow scans via easily accessible and exportable file formats. Template code is providedfor communicating with a variety of standard external devices. We report several novel features for waveform applications and dataflow. In-depth documentation in a User Guide and video tutorials are provided to enable new research directions, particularlyregarding shareability and lowering the barriers to entry for new investigators
