Parameter Range Description
Action NONE, SIGNAL, End of
test Separately defines an action for parameters “Discharge
time“ and “Discharge capacity“. It determines what shall
happen with the test run once the adjusted values for
those parameters are reached:
NONE = No action, test will continue
SIGNAL = Text “Time limit” will be displayed, test will
continue
End of test = The test will stop
Enable USB logging on/off By setting the check mark, USB logging is enabled and will
record data on a properly formatted USB stick, if plugged in to
the front USB port. The recorded data differs from the USB
log data recorded during “normal” USB logging in all other
operation modes of the device.
Logging interval 100 ms - 1 s, 5 s, 10 s Writing interval for USB logging
6.10.4 Displayed Values
During the test run, the display will show a set of values and status:

Actual battery voltage on the DC input in V

Actual discharge current in A

Actual power in W

Discharge voltage UDV in V

Consumed battery capacity in Ah

Consumed energy in Wh

Elapsed time in HH:MM:SS,MS

Regulation mode (CC, CP, CR)
6.10.5 Data recording (USB logging)
At the end of the configuration of both, static and dynamic mode, there is the option to
enable the USB logging feature. With an USB drive plugged and formatted as required, the
device can record data during the test run directly to the USB drive at the defined interval.
Active USB logging is indicated on the display with a small disk symbol. After the test has
stopped, the recorded data will be available as text file in CSV format.
Log file format:
Static = Selected mode
Iset = Max. current
Pset = Max. power
Rset = Desired resistance
DV = Discharge voltage
DT = Discharge time
DC = Discharge capacity
U/I/Pactual = Actual values
Ah = Consumed battery capacity
Wh = Consumed Energy
