REAL-TIME GRAPHS
The Graphs Screen in the DS2438 EV kit software displays the last 500 real-time measurements of battery voltage,
temperature, current and remaining capacity. The Clear button erases all the data in the graphs.
The Log to File Sub Tab contains control information for storing all data to an ASCII file. The default filename is
c:\DS2438K_datalog.txt, but can be modified in the filename text field. The Log Data button toggles data logging off
and on. Data will be stored at the same interval selected for updating the graphs in the tab-delimited format of
“Time<tab>Voltage<tab>Current<tab>Temperature<tab>ICA<tab>CCA<tab>DCA
for easy import into a spreadsheet. The most recent 50 samples are displayed in the window for observation.
Warning: the Log Data function overwrites previous file information. Data previously stored in the file will be lost.

Memory button.
