4.1 Advanced bqMTester Functional Procedure
The Advanced bqMTester functional procedure is as follows:
1. ROM File Generation: Create ROM file using bqEASY in EVSW. If bqEASY is not available for your
particular device, follow the procedure detailed in Appendix F to create the ROM file.
2. Software Installation: Install the software and drivers.
• NOTE: Do not connect any EV2x00s until the software is installed.
3. EV2x00 Driver to USB port Association: Associate the EV2x00 drivers to each USB port that will be
used for the Advanced bqMTester.
4. Station Hardware Connections: Connect all stations (EV2x00 and HPA495/HPA169) to the PC.
5. Station Setup (StationSetup.exe): Run the StationSetup.exe file.
(a) This program first detects all stations and request names for those stations.
(b) Next, you will see the Temperature Probe Setup screen to assign individual temperature probes
to each station.
(c) The program then requests calibration-specific data and the location of the Golden Image File so
that data can be installed in all gas gauge modules to be tested.
6. Multi-Station (MultiStationTester.exe): Finally, run the MultiStationTester.exe program. Here you
will do the following:
