• Select time interval of log and 12C clock frequency.

Register setting

Set Operational mode

• Setting registers

  • Input 115J in the Command field.
  • Input 10001J in the Data field.

• Click “Write word”.

Set APA

Set APA parameter that is suitable for your battery. Refer the table below about typical APA.

• Setting registers

  • Input 10BJ in the Command field.
  • Input 10000 to FFFF (a value suitable for your battery)J in the Data field.
    Note: For example the set value in APA register is 0x0A0A for 0x0A APA value.

• Click “Write word”.

Typical APA

Select battery profile

Select and set a profile that is suitable for your battery from the table below.

• Setting registers
  • Input 112J in the Command field.
