The Summary screen (Figure 18) shows Total Number of Discharge Cycles, Accumulated Battery
Time, Accumulated Battery Amp Hours, Accumulated Battery Kilowatt Hours and Battery Tempera-
ture. During a battery discharge event, the screen changes to show information about the present dis-
charge cycle. The screen displays Active Cycle Time in pl ace of Accumulated Battery Time and shows
Active Battery AH and Active Battery kWH instead of accumulated values.

Figure 19 shows a typical detail screen for the 91-240 Seconds Discharge category. This information
can be collected remotely, through the optional communications board and modem, by a remote termi-
nal or a personal computer equipped with a modem and communications program. See 3.2.14 - Com-
munication Interfaces for more information.
Some screens, like the Battery Cycle Monitor information, contain data that you may wish to import
into a spreadsheet for further calculations. To put this data into a usable format, use the screen-cap-
ture feature of your communications software (or a separate screen-capture program) to save all or
part of the data to disk.

If you save the file with an extension of “.txt,” it can be imported into a spreadsheet program
and converted to worksheet format.
