| The data acquisition procedures for most electrochemical techniques in Gamryelectrochemical instruments are implemented as user-accessible scripts. A script is a
 specialized computer program used to define and control the sequence of events during an
 experiment. The language used for these scripts is called Explain™. An Explain compiler is
 built into the Gamry Framework Software.
 Explain is a simple, but powerful, computer language designed specifically for writing
 experimental scripts. Explain was developed from a version of the Smalltalk language,
 written by David Betz, called Extalk. Extalk is too cumbersome for the needs of experimental
 control, so Gamry redesigned and simplified it. Explain provides a very crisp, readable, and
 modifiable script language which preserves most of Extalk's modern object oriented
 characteristics.
