3 Operation
This section details the operation of the bq4050 bqStudio software.
3.1 Starting the Program
With the EV2300 or EV2400 and the bq4050EVM connected to the computer, run bqStudio from the
Desktop or installation directory. The window consists of a tools panel at the top and other child windows
that can be hidden, docked in various positions, or allowed to float as separate windows. When bqStudio
first starts up the
DashBoard , the Registers , and Commands windows should be open. Additional windows
can be added by clicking the corresponding icons in the tools panel at the top of the main window.
The Scan (continuous scan) or Refresh (single time scan) buttons can be clicked in order to update the
data in the Registers and Data Memory windows.
bqStudio provides a logging function which logs selected Data Registers last received from the bq4050.
To enable this function, click the Start Log button. The default elapsed interval is 4000 milliseconds, to
change this interval, go to Windows , select Preferences , choose Registers , and change the Scan/Log
Interval from 4000 to 1000 milliseconds. There is no need to log faster than 1 second as the gauge will not
update the registers faster than 1 second.
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.
