EC-Lab Technical Notes 47: How to use sequences, loops, and cycles in EC-Lab® and BCS-800’s BT-Lab® software?

Latest updated: April 19, 2024

Three terms are used in EC-Lab^® and BT-Lab^® software to designate an iterated experiment: sequence, loop and cycle. Each of them has a precise definition and purpose but they can be easily confused. This article explains the key definitions to help you understand and distinguish the different terms so as to properly exploit the software’s features, especially the filtering of data for data of interest, (using the “Show” function).
