The bq20z65 allows for an automatic data flash export function, similar to the SBS Data logging function.
This feature, when selected via | Options | Auto Export |, exports Data Flash to a sequential series of files
named as
FilenameNNNNN.gg
where N = a decimal number from 0 to 9.
The AutoExport interval is set under the | Options menu | with a minimum value of 15 s. The AutoExport
filename also is set under the | Options menu |.
When a check mark is next to | AutoExport |, the AutoExport is in progress. The same menu selection is
used to turn on/off AutoExport.
If the data flash screen is blank, then the bq20z65 that is being used may not be supported by the
bqEVSW version that is being used. An upgrade may be required.
The bq20z65 must be calibrated using power supplies or a power supply and cell simulation resistors (200
Ω
to 1000
Ω
each) before cells are attached. Before the bq20z65 is calibrated:
•
Connect and measure a 2-A current source from 1N (-) and Pack- (+) to calibrate without using the
FETs. (Calibration using the FETs is not recommended.)
•
Measure the pack voltage from Batt+ to Batt- (total of cell voltages).
•
Measure the temperature of the pack.
•
These steps may not be required, depending on the type of calibration being performed.
Perform the following steps.
1. Select the types of calibration to be performed (see
2. Enter the measured values for the types selected (except for CC Offset Calibration).
3. If
Voltage Calibration
is selected, then enter the number of cells on the pack.
4. If
Temperature Calibration
is selected, then select the sensor that is to be calibrated.
5. If the current source is connected between 1N and Pack-, then select the Off (bypassed) check box in
the FET Control section.
6. Press the
Calibrate Part
button.
The following steps perform the offset calibration for the current offset of the board.
1. Remove load/external voltage and short Pack- to Batt-.
2. Press the
CC Board Offset Calibration
button.
The following steps calibrate the voltage at the AFE Pack pin.
1. Ensure that
Voltage Calibration
has been performed for the pack. Ensure that a stable charger voltage
higher than 8-V is present at Pack+.
2. Press the
Pack Voltage
button to calibrate.
