Figure 81. BDS Configuration Data for Setup Files (continued)
Parameter / Enabled - The OV, DC and FC parameters are assigned to DCM #1. Select
Enabled to view the parameter in String View and enable the hardware.
OV - Overall Volts. Not available for BDS-40.
DC - Discharge Current.
FC - Float Current.
Cell Voltage - From the drop-down list, select the nominal voltage of the cell or jar being
measured.
Intercell Enabled - Select this box if making separate measurements for intercells. Not
available for BDS-40.
Charger IT - Select the enabled check box if using the Charger IT option. This area allows
you to select and assign a cable to a DCM and intertier channel. The Cable+1 is the first
DCM and the Cable -1 is the last DCM.
Note: When intercells are enabled, they are defaulted to discrete. Each cable will have up to
four intertier channels, for example:
 <DCM 1> <IT 1>
 <DCM 1> <IT 2>
 <DCM 1> <IT 3>
 <DCM 1> <IT 4>
Note: On combined reading board, the intertier channel number will always start the first
available channel past the cells.
Intertier # / Cell # - For intertiers 1 to 15 in use, assign a cell number that relates to each
intertier.
