Logging Data
When the Cadex analyzer is connected to a computer, data logs can be recorded
on a computer as text strings. Each text string appears on a line by itself. For an
example of data logged with Microsoft’s HyperTerminal program (see Figure 9,
page 92).
Note When using BatteryShop, the software’s Data Monitor function is similar to
the Data Log.
Two types of text strings are created when logging data. The first is the “event
string”, which is generated whenever a specific event occurs. Some examples of
specific events that would generate this type of data string are the start or end of a
specific phase in a program; a battery or adapter insertion or removal and errors
and warnings. The second, and most common event string is the “processing
string”, which updates battery data once a minute and indicates normal battery
processing.
Text strings have seven or eight fields, which are separated by commas. The first
six fields in both types of text strings are identical and represent these data
elements:
• Analyzer number. This number is always “0”.
