/test profile 2,20 /cutoff 8.5
charge-discharge
performs a
Charge Discharge Test
that will cycle between charge and discharge cycles until
completed.
First
is used to indicate if the test will begin with a charge cycle or discharge cycle. The cycles
parameter indicates the number of cycles to complete. A cycle is either a charge or a discharge, so two
cycles will result in both a charge cycle and a discharge cycle. The desired load is specified with
amps
. The
highVoltage
parameter provides a limit to the battery voltage during charging.
The following command-line options can also be used with /test:
/battery, /cutoff (Required), /open, /title, /temperature, /graph, /amplifiers, /unit, /chargeunit, /
chargegraph, /graphcurrent, /chargeignore, /chargerecover, /chargeamphrlimit

When performing a hands-free test with /test
and saving results to a file with /open, this
command sets the battery information. This
is only used for informational purposes and
does not affect the test parameters. If this is
not specified, random data may be saved to
the file.
Type is battery type, and the following strings
are allowed:
•
Alkaline
•
Carbon-Zinc
•
Lead Acid (LiFePO4)
•
Li-ion
•
Li-poly
•
NiCd
•
NiMH
•
Other
Example (4Ah, 6 Cell 13.2V battery, 5.5
pounds):
/battery 4,6,13.2,5.5,”Lead Acid”
/cutoff
voltage
Specify the cutoff voltage. If using a hands-
free test, this parameter is required, if not
specified the program will not run a test. The
test is completed when the battery goes below
this voltage
Example:
/test discharge 1.5 /cutoff 10.5
/open
filename
Specify which test results file to open. If a
hands-free test mode was initiated with /test
command-line option, then test results are
saved to this file when finished.
Example:
/open test.bt2
