4 - User Interface

Localization

The user interface pages are provided in English and Japanese. You can specify the default language during installation of the Agilent MCCD. (You can also change the language from the System page once the Agilent MCCD User Interface is running.)

Access

The user interface is accessed by starting a web browser on a LAN-connected PC and specifying the following URL:

http://<address>/

where <address> is the IP address or name of the particular Agilent MCCD unit being monitored.

Using the Interface

The Agilent MCCD User Interface provides a basic level of system monitoring and control. It allows the monitoring of individual cell states, measuring cell voltage and currents while the test is running, and the monitoring and control of a complete test sequence.

The Agilent MCCD User Interface lets you control a cell-forming station independently of a computer test program. The cell forming sequence that you program using the Agilent MCCD User Interface is identical to the sequence that you construct using the API functions in a program. You can also download an existing sequence from a PC and then use the Agilent MCCD User Interface to view or modify it.

You can also use the Agilent MCCD User Interface as a learning tool to familiarize yourself with the various features of the Agilent MCCD.

Finally, the Agilent MCCD User Interface contains a Diagnostics Page that lets you directly and immediately program the individual channel outputs. This is only meant for debugging purposes. Agilent Technologies does not recommend using direct output control to run your cell forming sequence.

CAUTION Direct output control should not be used for charging cells. There is no protection against overcharging when using direct output control. Use this mode only for diagnostic and debugging purposes.

More information on using the Agilent MCCD User Interface can be found in the online help that can be accessed from the interface. Click on the Help button.

The pin numbers of the Digital I/O connector appear on the screen. Refer to Figure 2-2 for the physical locations of the pins. Note that the two pins on each end of the connector are the Common connection for any pins that are configured as grounded outputs All pins do not have to be configured in the same way. Some can be used as isolated outputs while others are single-ended I/O. Functions can also be mixed, with some pins being general purpose Digital I/O while others have a specific purpose. Chapter 2 under “Digital Connections” provides further information about the purpose and application of the digital I/O signals. Any pin can be configured for selections 1 through 7.
