Each button performs an action.

       
The read button, when enabled, permits cyclic reading of the battery parameters and status bits. Depending on the speed of the PC, the refresh rate should be approximately 1 second.
When cyclically reading data from the battery, the relevant battery information is logged and stored for charting purposes. Previously logged data, if existing, is overwritten by the new data unless the Shift button is pressed together with this button. In this case, the most recent logged data is held and appended.
When Read is started, the caption turns to Stop: when Stop is pressed, the read action is ended and the last values read are retained and displayed.
If the Read button is disabled (grayed), it means that there is no communication with the battery. Please refer to the troubleshooting section.

By pressing this button the Chart Viewer is launched. The charts are available when at least 2 samples are read from the battery. If not, this button is disabled (grayed).
If BSMon is reading data from the battery, the chart will show real time data.
If BSMon is not reading from the battery, the chart is available only if the previous read had collected enough data. In this case the chart will show the last data logged from the battery.

This button will reset the battery.
By resetting the battery, the entire chipset will be forced to reload all the software and the programmed parameters.
This action is normally not necessary but could be helpful if a very critical condition occurs.
On resetting, the remaining capacity is zeroed (naturally, the battery will still hold its real capacity...), and recalculated as soon as possible (normally within 1 minute) by a performance of an estimation based on the cell stack voltage. The result of this self compensation is a Remaining State of Charge set either at 25%, 50% or 75%, depending on voltage.
The misalignment between the real capacity and the estimated capacity calculated in this way will not pose a problem since the battery will re-calibrate and re-align the remaining state of charge with the full state of charge each time upon reaching full charge or full discharge.


This button allows the battery to send information to Blueshape® support team by email.
When clicked, the entire parameter table of the battery and additional real time data are downloaded from the battery within a few seconds and the Export form is displayed for uploading battery data to our servers.


With this button it is possible to re-program the battery by uploading special settings.
When clicked, the Import form is displayed.
