DATA VIEW MENU

While in the Main Memory screen,
press three times to find the Data
View screen shown at right, where
various types of operational data
pertaining to the input or output is
shown. This screen will show only
before a function has started or
after a function has ended.
Graphic data view: The LCD can show final charge or discharge voltage curves
(but not for cycles). Move the cursor to the "graphic data view" line at the bottom
of the Data View screen above. Press the dial to view the graph shown at right.
The graph will first show in "auto" mode. A straight vertical line will appear in the
the graph, which is the "graph cursor". Rotating the dial will cause the cursor to
move sideways. The voltage at the point where the cursor intersects the curve
is shown in the upper-right corner.
To manually adjust different parameters in the graph, press
"auto", rotate the dial to select "manual" and refer to the diagram below:
RNG: manual

4.197Vc R: 0.94V
Press twice to select the
vertical center voltage setting
(Vc). Rotate dial to change
the voltage at the center point
of the graph.
Press the dial anytime to return to the Data View screen.
Notes for settings in the Data View screen:
Battery resistance measurements will start 2 minutes after discharge has stopped, and is shown in milli-ohms (
Battery resistance will not be measured if a NiCd/MH cell is below 1.0V, or if a LiPo/Ion cell is below 3.0V, as the
best time to judge a battery's internal resistance is when it is closer to full charge. A lower resistance value means
the charger can likely condition the battery more efficiently and accurately. A battery whose internal resistance
gradually worsens is likely showing the signs of aging and may soon need to be replaced. Internal resistance can
be greatly affected by the quality of the connection between the battery and charger.
Charge time doesn't include when a battery is in trickle charge or top-off charge.
For NiCd/MH batteries, the full graph should show in a single LCD frame. For lithium batteries, the total graph
period is designed for a maximum of 3 hours based on a 1C rate (data past 3 hours won't be displayed). When
using the automatic charge or discharge mode, the overall graph period will be 2 hours maximum.
Information is NOT shown in graph form for re-peak charge mode, time delays, top-off charge, cycles, or discharge-
before-charge steps.
