The instrument makes use of a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based data acquisition card, and this contribution further illustrates the benefits of adopting FPGA architecture generally in electrochemical instrumentation. We describe the software and hardware for the instrument, using examples from the literature to illustrate how common SEPM operation modes and hyphenated techniques are readily implemented. Additionally, to demonstrate the application of custom-developed scanning protocols, we briefly present some further experimental examples. This Tutorial seeks to serve the needs of expert users of SEPMs and encourage new entrants alike. To this end, to encourage those who are interested in either setting up their own instruments or making optimal use of commercially available instruments, we also briefly include some more basic and general information on SEPM techniques and uses, to put the more advanced work and instrumental aspects in context.
