== How to use Battery Monitor Utility ==
-
Control IC spec file:[ftp://ftp.lex.com.tw/Engineer/SoftSupport/AP_Module/PW016_Utility/bq2084-v143.rar bq2084-v143.pdf]
+
Install BMU_Setup for your windows environment. And start Battery Monitor Utility.
-
== How to use the Demo Application ==
+
When you click the close button of the utility, it will hide into tray icon like below picture.<br />
-
*<font color=#F00000>This utility has to be used with bq2084 gas gauge.</font><br />
+
If you want to know some simple information of battery, you can move the cursor to tray icon, it will show the battery status.<br />
-
=== Check Battery Info ===
+
[[Image:bmu_trayiconMsg.png]]<br />
-
[[Image:BMU2.6Main.JPG]]<br /><br />
+
-
'''In order to retrieve the current battery information, please click the “Check Battery Info” and battery information will be refreshed as current status.'''<br />
+
-
*a.Battery Temperature.<br />
+
-
*b.Battery Current.<br />
+
-
*c.Battery Voltage.<br />
+
-
*d.Battery Status for Charge or Discharge.<br />
+
-
*e.Battery Status for Remaining capacity percent.<br />
+
-
*f.Battery remaining life time.<br />
+
-
*g.Battery Alarm Flag.<br />
+
-
*h.Battery Cycle Count：After battery fully charge and fully discharge one time, the cycle count will add 1.(As the picture you can see, cycle count is 12, that means the battery has fully charged 12 times and fully discharged 12 times) <br />
+
-
*I.Power off shutdown Message:After you Remove the power and you set the shutdown time,The time will be countdown
+
-
<br />
+
-
'''Note 1:'''<br />
+
-
'''The battery control IC will protect the battery base on the preset threshold value.'''<br />
+
-
''' Please download file from above “Battery Data Flash Info” for further preset threshold information.'''<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
*'''Over Charged:'''
+
-
Threshold = Full Charge Capacity + Maximum Over Chg.<br />
+
-
The Over Charged and Terminate Charge warnings from Battery Alarm status will appear “Yes” when the value of full charge capacity + maximum over chg is greater than the set value of threshold and the charge action will be terminated.<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
*'''Over Temperature:'''
+
-
The Over Temperature and Terminate Charge / Terminate Discharge warnings from Battery Alarm status will appear “Yes” when the value of full charge capacity + maximum over chg is greater than the set value of threshold and the charge / discharge action will be terminated.<br />
+
-
'''For Charge Mode: Threshold = Chg Suspend Temp Hi (Ref, Battery Data Flash Info)'''<br />
+
-
'''For Discharge Mode: Threshold = Over Temp Dsg (Ref, Battery Data Flash Info)'''<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
'''Note 2:'''<br />
+
-
The value of the “Current” from the Battery Info may appear in positive or negative value depending on the Charge / Discharge mode.<br />
+
<br />
<br />
 +
If you want to see the detail of battery, you can double-click the tray icon, battery monitor utility will appear.<br />
 +
You can also click right button on tray icon and select "More Battery Info" to evoke battery monitor utility.<br />

Introduction

Battery Monitor Utility is battery monitor software for retrieving & auto-saving the battery information.
It could also protect the battery from overheating by the preset threshold value.

The Sample code source and Spec File you can download from

Binary file: BMU_Setup_V3.0.2.2_x64.zip

Binary file: BMU_Setup_V3.0.2.2_x86.zip

How to use Battery Monitor Utility

Install BMU_Setup for your windows environment. And start Battery Monitor Utility.

When you click the close button of the utility, it will hide into tray icon like below picture.
If you want to know some simple information of battery, you can move the cursor to tray icon, it will show the battery status.
Image:bmu_trayiconMsg.png

If you want to see the detail of battery, you can double-click the tray icon, battery monitor utility will appear.
You can also click right button on tray icon and select "More Battery Info" to evoke battery monitor utility.

Battery Monitor Utility main page

Image:bmu_MainUI.png

When start utility, it will show simple information about all batteries on the main page.
If you want to watch detail message about individual battery, you can press the buttons on the left panel.

About page items detail is below.

  • 1-1. Press button to show simple information about all batteries.
  • 1-2. Press button to show detail information about battery one.
  • 1-3. Press button to show detail information about battery two.
  • 1-4. Press button to show configuration page.
  • 1-5. External power voltage. Support PW407 only.
  • 1-6. Count of all battery device on the motherboard.
  • 1-7. Battery Monitor Utility software version.
