Resources

Interfaces and Software

EA-BTS battery test software controls all battery cycling and battery test operations and enables:

• Defining the tests to be performed
• Entering parameters for the tests
• Defining the order in which tests are performed
• Defining the data to be monitored and exported
• Defining the layout of the display screen

The Software uses a Widget-based approach to allow a user-configurable display. Set up and test execution is simple and fast and allows complete tests on a battery or another power source, such as a fuel cell.
