Custom Programs
These features are recommended for advanced users only.
Creating a custom program requires a good understanding of rechargeable batteries
and the analyzer. Applying routines that conflict with the battery manufacturer’s
specifications or recommendations can damage a battery.
If custom programs are modified regularly, use Cadex BatteryShop™. The graphical
user interface of Cadex BatteryShop™ allows easy programming and monitoring of
battery performance. See Cadex’s BatteryShop™ online Help for detailed
instructions.
Custom programs can run virtually any sequence of service cycles. They are stored in the
analyzer to be globally used by any adapter.
A custom program consists of phases 1 through 5, followed by phase
DONE
.
•
Each of the first five phases consists of two cycles, a test, and the
TRUE
and
FALSE
statements, as shown in the flow chart in Figure 10.
