Figure 108. All Discharges (MPM shown)
The BDS and MPM All Discharges screens are similar, except the MPM screen has the
MPM Current to Include in Report selection. The View|Load Test and View|Discharge
screens are the same, except View|Load Test has the Start, Stop and Get buttons available.
Report Interval area - Click Time or OV Deviation and type a value in the box. The Report
Interval determines the frequency of report sampling. If Time is selected, replay time
advances in increments measured against real-time. For example, if 00:10 is entered,
playback advances 10 seconds every second. If Overall Voltage is selected, playback
advances each time the voltage changes. For example, if 0.1 is entered, playback advances
each time a 100mv deviation in overall voltage occurs. Specify time in hours, minutes, and
seconds (10 second minimum) or OV (overall voltage) deviation in volts (0.2 volt minimum).
Click Use Preset Thresholds to use values set in the BMDM program when the test was run.
Click Override Preset Thresholds to ignore BMDM thresholds, then type values in
the Low Cell Threshold and Low OV Threshold boxes to identify cells that exceed critical
levels. Any measurement below these values will be in violation.
Graph Scaling area - Click Auto to default to automatic graph scaling, or click Manual and
type the Max and Min graph scale values. Use Manual scaling when you want to maintain
scaling to make it easier to compare several graphs.
Select Auto Select to automatically select cells listed on the right side that violate the
thresholds. If you change the cell or OV thresholds, cells that meet the new criteria are
selected. You may add cells to the report by selecting additional check boxes in the list.
