CURSOR AND DIGITAL VALUES
The slipping bar bounds the space for the cursor, represented by the grey vertical line into the diagram.
The cursor acts as a pointer to visualize into the below squares the digital values of the abscissa in the
diagram.
The cursor can be displaced by the mouse moving it or pressing on the side cursors, but it can be moved
in a more precise manner by means of the pointers on the keyboard. In alternative with the mouse you
can select a zone of the diagram, where the cursor stays automatically. The time scale is automatically
fitted, in conformity with the acquisitions, to the available screen.
COMMANDS AND MESSAGES
The lowest horizontal space is reserved to the command of START, STOP and to the operating condition.
START
: pressing by means of the mouse the START key you visualize a table containing the
configuration data of the next discharge; these data can be modified on line and/or confirmed with OK,
starting the discharge with those values.
STOP
: pressing by means of the mouse the STOP key you interrupt the discharge in process.
The central space of this window is filled with messages informing the user about the condition of the

ATTENTION!
The negative reference on the connector RS232 of the discharger is electrically connected to the negative
of power of the battery terminals; the negative reference of the connector RS232 of a PC is electrically
connected to its own frame which is usually connected to the ground wire.
Therefore, in case you employ a portable PC (with battery), the connection Discharge-PC has the effect
of connecting the battery negative pole to the ground.
In case of a needed galvanic insulation, it is available, as optional, the interface RS232 insulated.
