Middle Machine

A machine can buffer channel control commands and recorded data, and also perform some data calculation and organization. When comes to Neware’s battery tester, the middle machine and the lower machine are all the important parts of the tester.

Coulombic Efficiency

Also called faradic efficiency, faradic yield, coulombic efficiency or current efficiency. A ratio between output (discharging) and input (charging) capacity of the battery. Faraday efficiency (also called faradaic efficiency, faradaic yield, coulombic efficiency or current efficiency) describes the efficiency with which charge (electrons) are transferred in a system facilitating an electrochemical reaction. The word “faraday” in this term has two

Explanation of test steps in BTS software

As you many know, in Neware’s BTS software, you can set up testing steps for the battery tests you are going to perform. You’ll see the following screen shot when you are trying to use BST Client to start up a battery test. In each step, you can choose from the drop down list one test item and configure the

CAN bus

Short for Controller Area Network bus, is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer. CAN bus is a message-based protocol, designed specifically for automotive applications but now also used in other areas such as aerospace, industrial automation and medical equipment. CAN bus on WiKi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus Neware’s

Why all the BTS Client functions disabled?

Sometimes when you launch the BTS Client, the server and machines listed successfully on the left side the of software, you click the node one by one and found the machine you are going to operate, but the thing is, when you right click on the machine node or on the channel, the popup menu are all disabled, you have

only can see the last period of the data?

BTSDA has a default data loading behavior – loading the last 20 cycles of the data. You can drag the yellow bar below to other cycle ranges, or right click on it to select the loading range, or right click on the data area to set default loading behavior under cycle layer settings. Following pictures clearly tell you how to

Combine channels together for easier management operation

If you have many channels of the same Neware tester model under different devices, maybe you have to do the same job for the devices but to launch a same test. Is there any way to simplify this action? The answer is yes! You can map at most 256 (8 rows* 32 columns) channel for one virtual channel. You can

Use BTS Client to set up battery test steps

Cycle life test is a traditional way to get the battery service life time. If you want to have some advanced features, such as jumping to other schedules based on the situation of the battery, or want to test battery at various conditions (like temperature or humidity) based on a remote controllable environment chamber. Cycle life test not only enable

Unit Number

The number of the lower machine, which refers to part of a Neware’s battery tester. 1 lower machine can hold maximum 8 channels. You can also make the channels from different lower machines have the same virtual unit number. 1 virtual unit can hold maximum 32 channels.

Plateau

This is a specified voltage value or voltage range. Battery’s voltage will change less  than other voltage ranges as it charges or discharges. This value could be obtained from the differential capacity curve – the peaks of the curve represent the charge and discharge plateau. Discharge plateau could be called nominal voltage of the battery.
