Battery Management Studio Software
When started, the software looks for the communication interface and the device. If the device is not
found, it opens a Target Selection Wizard. This is expected for a new EVM since the bq78350 is not
programmed. Select the newest bq78350 version in the list and click the
Finish
button. This selection will
be remembered until the software is re-stared. If the device is not found, the user will be presented with a
Proceed?
popup window which must be acknowledged. If the software still can not find the device, a
Battery Management Studio
popup window appears indicating communication status. With a blank or un-
powered part, this will indicate a timeout. Acknowledge the message to proceed.
Figure 7. Target Selection Wizard
If the software was started without a communication interface adapter, a Battery Management Studio
popup window will indicate a free adapter is not available. Acknowledge the message to proceed. Errors
will appear in the left bottom border of the Battery Management Studio screen. Correct the problem with
the adapter and restart the software.
When the software is first started in a new installation, a welcome view covers the main portion of the
window. This offers an overview or tutorials of the software. After reviewing any desired content, close the
welcome view. If it is desired to see this again, the welcome view can be opened from the menu selection
Help | Welcome.
bqStudio contains a user guide for general operation of the software. Refer to the menu selection Help |
Help Contents for information.
Once the welcome view is closed, the bqStudio window appears as shown in
. The register area
is blank since communication with the blank device on the EVM does not provide data.
