Operating Manual
During a high current test there can be a voltage drop between the battery and CBA. This does not affect the
current readings. However, it can cause a test to stop earlier than intended. This feature allows for calculating
the resistance of the cable and then the software will account for the voltage drop.
Start a high current test running. Measure the voltage at the battery with a DVM. Then invoke this function
and enter the battery voltage. Click on OK and the resistance will be used. Complete this again any time a
cable is changed.

Profiles
Once all the settings have been made in this window, save those settings as a profile in the upper left. The
profile can be loaded from this same area. <default-profile> is a special profile that represents the last set of
settings created.
Test name is the description for the test entered into the file. Filename is the file this test will be saved in.
Test name is of the format “Test_1” and each appended test simply increments the number: “Test_2”, “Test_3”,
etc.
File name is of the format “yymmdd_TestType_n” where yymmdd is a date code like 210401 for April 1st, 2021
and
TestType is the selected test. n is a number that gets incremented automatically for each new duplicate file.
Battery Description
On the right side in the blue area, various characteristics may be entered that are saved in the test file to help
document the test.
