The code I would like to run is this:
from potentiostat import Potentiostat
pstat = Potentiostat('COM5')
t1 = 10000
v1 = 0.3
t2 = 10000
v2 = -1.4
cond_params = {
'quietValue' : 0,
'quietTime' : 0,
'step' : [ (t1,v1),(t2,v2)],
}
odict = pstat.set_param('multiStep',cond_params)
Presently, I'm working in a Jupyter notebook, Python 3.9. I have the library import and pstat definition in a separate cell to avoid re-running them. Starting with a fresh kernel, I get the following error:
JSONDecodeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[2], line 12
4 v2 = -1.4
6 cond_params = {
7 'quietValue' : 0,
8 'quietTime' : 0,
9 'step' : [ (t1,v1),(t2,v2)],
10 }
---> 12 odict = pstat.set_param('multiStep',cond_params)
13 odict['step']

Setting t1 and t2 to 1000 does not throw this error. Without refreshing the kernel, if I change t1 and t2 to 10000, the error is thrown. If I run the same cell again, without changing t1 and t2, odict now reports the correct times and voltages for the multistep. However, there seems to be a communication problem, because trying to run the test with t, v, i = pstat.run_test('multiStep') throws this error:
OSError Traceback (most recent call last)

It is also clear that something in the communication with the potentiostat has become un-synced since I have to restart the kernel, try to communicate with the potentiostat only to have it fail, then restart the kernel again to be able to connect to the potentiostat. This behavior also happens for larger quiet times in the square wave test.
