Solartron 1285A DC Potentiostat Galvanostat, what animal is this ?

[DC1MC]

Hello everybody, I've seen $subject in this  bay link:

eBay auction: #https://www.ebay.de/itm/324067594048?ul_noapp=true

After reading a bit of datasheet:
https://www.ameteksi.com/-/media/ameteksi/download_links/documentations/1285/model-1285.pdf

I'm still wondering if it could be used for something, or at least a source of good stable components ?

Cheers,
DC1MC

I don't think this part would be very useful for other than the intended use. At best one might get a kind of low power lab supply (20 V up to 1 A at lower voltage ?). Maybe a little like a low end, limited range  5.5 digit source meter with an extra sense input (a kind of 3 wire mode).
The SW may be limited in control.

I won't expect really high end components. At least one would not need them for the specs. Likely CMOS OPs and SD-ADC chip (e.g. LTC2400).
