3.1 Registers Screen
Apply power to the EVM after you have completed the EVM Connections section. Run Battery Management
Studio from the Start | Programs | Texas Instruments | Battery Management Studio menu sequence, or the
Battery Management Studio shortcut. The Registers screen (see
) appears. The
Registers
section
contains parameters used to monitor gauging. The
Bit Registers
section provides a bit-level picture of status and
fault registers. A green flag indicates that the bit is 0 (low state) and a red flag indicates that the bit is 1 (high
state). Data begins to appear once the
Refresh
(single-time scan) button is selected, or it scans continuously, if
the
Scan
button is selected.

The continuous scanning period can be set via the | Window | Preferences | SBS | Scan Interval | menu
selection.
The Battery Management Studio program provides a logging function which logs the values selected by the
Log
check boxes located beside each parameter in the
Registers
section. To enable this function, select the
Log
button; this causes the
Scan
button to be selected. When logging is stopped, the
Scan
button is still selected and
has to be manually deselected.
