CBA control
The CBA control frame allows the control the CBA unit. By operating this control, a load will be instantly set to discharge
the battery.
The CBA control is enabled only when a
session is started and is disabled when the session is stopped.
It consists of:
a slider, to selected and vary the load
a stop button
an option button to switch the load scale between Ampere an Watt
a display to show the selected load
The slider moves between zero and the max load, tipically 10000mA or 150W: on moving the slider, the display is updated
but the load starts only when the mouse button is released.
The red LED on the CBA unit lights on to indicate that the discharge session started, and the fan embedded in the CBA
unit start to spin silently.
The discharge current is software and electronically regulated using a solid state switch and fan cooled electronic load,
and it is automatically kept constant during the whole test. If the option button is changed between Ampere and Watt, the
actual load is converted and shown and the slider scale is changed. However, the load applied to the battery is not
affected.
The load can be cleared and the discharge interrupted in three possible ways:
