feature, deselect <Keep Scanning>.
The continuous scanning period can be set with the | Options | and | Set Scan Interval | menu selections.
The range for this interval is 0 ms to 65,535 ms. Only items that are selected for scanning are scanned
within this period.
The bq27520 EVSW provides a logging function which logs the values that were last scanned by EVSW.
To enable this function, select the Start Logging button; this causes the Keep Scanning button to be
selected. When logging is Stopped, the Keep Scanning button is still selected and has to be manually
unchecked.
The logging intervals are specified under the | Options | menu with the maximum value of 65,535 ms. The
Log interval cannot be smaller than the scan interval because this results in the same value being logged
at least twice.
