from the battery each second.

When the battery is not being read or is not connected, the chart will be available only if the previous readings had

processed enough data. In this case, the chart will be static.

Not all the parameters are of interest to display graphically, so only two types of charts will be displayed:

Voltage and Current

:-displays

Battery Voltage

,

Actual Current

and

Cell Temperature

against a time scale

Single Cell Voltages

:-displays

Single Cell Voltages

and

Cell Temperature

against a time scale

When launched by clicking on the

Chart

button, the chart viewer will open in a new window allowing better screen

management. The user can keep it in foreground as well as sending it to the background, or close it temporarily. Actually,

the chart viewer can be opened and closed without any loss of data because data is retained and logged by BSMon

independently. Each time it is opened, it shows the entire data logged so far.

Using a load connected to the BSMon USB reader through the

banana sockets

available on the side panel, or installing

the BSMon directly on a device (camcorder or charger) makes it possible to analyse the battery behaviour during

operation.

Voltage and Current

The Voltage and Current chart displays the actual battery voltage and actual charge or discharge currents (with the cell

temperature) on a time scale.
