BATTST
BATTST Utility
Description
BATTST is a utility that allows testing the batteries in an
EF51R and EF52R. It also allows for conditioning the batteries
to avoid or correct the voltage depression effect that sometimes
occurs in nickel-cadmium batteries after a series of incomplete
discharges.
BATTST operates by continuing to exercise the memory and
data retention disk under battery power after external DC
power is removed. The time that the batteries lasted is stored
in the PARAMS parameter BAT_TEST.
Accessing
BATTST
Access the BATTST program the same way you would the other
local programs. Once a connection is established, the system
prompts you to answer a series of questions.
