BATTERY DISCHARGER at constant current
English
D01470-03
23
Discharge acquisition through PC
The discharger can be remote controlled with PC through the interface RS232.
It is also possible to store and print the discharging curve and all corresponding parameters, showing by
documents the executed tests.
The software for the data management is available, as optional, on expressed inquiry from the customer.
The commands and the data signalling directly from the discharger have the same efficiency as the
commands from the PC keyboard, so that the equipment can work indifferently with or without PC.
The description below illustrates the working of the application apart from the standard commands of MS
Windows™ and the employ of its windows.
