Data Collection and Storage
Data points for the graphs are collected and stored in nonvolatile memory in the T35-
GFX during charge and discharge operations. Data storage is limited to the most recent
500 data points for the charge cycle and 500 data points for the discharge cycle. Data
points are collected every 5 seconds, meaning that a maximum of 2500 seconds worth of
data can be collected for each of the charge and discharge cycles. If timing exceeds 2500
seconds, the earliest data will be overwritten by the newer data, which is equivalent to
saving the most recent 500 data points in either case.
Data will not be stored during charging if TurboFlex is active.
Using the Cursor
The main feature of the graphing screen is the cursor, or vertical line that appears on the
graph screen. Rotating the rotary dial will move the cursor from point to point across the
graph. As it positions on a point, the point time and voltage value will be displayed at the
bottom.
Supply Voltage
On page 2 of 2 of the dat mode screens, the only parameter present that hasn't been
described is the Supply Volts. This, of course, is the DC supply voltage present on the
T35-GFX power supply leads.
The T35-GFX has some low power protection features built in. If the power supply dips
below 4.4 VDC, the T35-GFX will stop any cycle and perform a shutdown, alerting the
user with a message:
*SYSTEM*SHUTDOWN**
At this point it is necessary to disconnect the T35-GFX from the supply and any attached
cells; then restart the charger from scratch.
If the power supply drops below 10 volts but stays above 4.4 volts, the T35-GFX will
suspend any charge cycle in progress, then give the message:
!POWER*SUPPLY*BAD!
Should power return to normal, any charge cycle in progress will be restarted, in order to
attempt to carry out the charge function in case the racer was depending on the pack
being charged.
Setup Mode
The T35-GFX can store 10 program setups in nonvolatile memory for recall. Here's how
it works.
What Settings are Saved/Recalled in a Setup?
The following parameters are saved in a setup:
