LogView - displays your serial data ...
We have been working closely with the manufacturer of the software 'LogView', in order to provide
optimum facilities for evaluating the data generated by our ULTRA DUO PLUS 60 battery charger.
With the help of LogView, which we recommend and support, it is possible to visualise and analyse the
serial data delivered by these chargers, and if necessary to export the data in a wide variety of forms.
The software is Donationware, and can be downloaded from the following web addresses:
www.graupner.de or www.logview.info. If you enjoy using the software, there is a method of sending a
monetary contribution to the developer, but otherwise the program can be used free of charge.
In addition to an intuitive user-friendly interface, LogView offers the opportunity to use a wide range of
different equipment. The data received from the devices is always displayed in the same way, which
makes it much easier for the user to handle his equipment. The files generated by LogView can also
be used directly by any other user, even if he does not have actual physical access to the device in
question.
Additional software features include:
 High-performance graphics engine with numerous analysis and measurement functions. Wide-
ranging options are available for adjusting the display of the curves to suit individual requirements.
 Analysis functions help to investigate rechargeable batteries more thoroughly.
 The curve comparison functions enable the user to display different charge and discharge processes
in graphic form. In this way it is possible in particular to assess the quality and ageing effects of
rechargeable batteries very accurately, and to compare them with other rechargeable batteries.
 The object management function provides a means of storing and managing recorded data and
information relating to specific batteries.
 Numerous export functions for graphs and tables allow other applications to use the data.
 The label printing function provides a means of printing out labels for applying to individual battery
packs.
 The integral Help system is a fast, straightforward method of obtaining information relating to the
program's functions. If particular questions arise concerning the use of the software, or if you have
suggestions for further improvements to the LogView program, it is possible to contact the developer
directly via the LogView forum, or to exchange ideas and experiences with other users.
