3.1 System Setup
Welcome to Cadex BatteryLab – the PC software that provides a
visual interface to start, monitor, and control custom battery tests
on up to eight Cadex C8000 Battery Testers simultaneously. The
software provides interfaces to create or edit password-protected
c-codes, battery IDs, waveforms, and custom programs to test
batteries. Tests can be viewed in real-time via the results panel or
program listing and monitored on multi-variable graphs. (
Note :
Real-time is defined as the rate of data acquisition. By default, all
data is acquired at a rate of 60 seconds. Programs can be defined

retrieved from the database. Test data can also be exported to tab
