The command describes what happens within a step. A Command can be a standard command (i.e. Charge, Discharge ..) or can also be a subroutine.

command	Parameter	Description
Charge	I, U, P	Charge with the parameters of the parameter field
Discharge	I, U, P	Discharge with the parameters of the parameter field
Pause	---	Open circuit, OCV relays is open, current =0
Ramp-i	I1: Start value Slope: slope I2: limitation	Current ramp with limitation
Ramp-u	U1: Startwert Slope: Slope U2: Begrenzung	Voltage ramp with limitation
Set	Ah-Set, W-Set, t-Set, Ah-Ch-Set, Ah-Dis-Set, Wh-Ch-Set, Wh-Dis-Set	Setting of counters and timers
Cycle-Start	-----	Begin of loop
Cycle-End	Anzahl, Count	End of loop
@..........	different	Subroutine
Extern*	-----	Connect battery with external load/charger

* The Extern command only works in combination with the option „external load/charger“. (See hardware documentation)

In near future other commands will be added.

The registration format

The registration format describes what data will be stored. The registration data has the following meaning:

Value	Description
DataSet *	Number of dataset
Time[h] *	Time in hours since start of test
DateTime	True date and time
t-Set[h]	Settable timer
Line*	Line number of test plan
State*	State information 1: normal, 2: Last data of step
U[V]*	Voltage
I[A]*	Current
AH[Ah]	Ah (charge + discharge) since start of test
Wh[Wh]	Wh (charge + discharge) since start of test
Ah-Charge	Ah (charge) since start of test
Ah-Discharge	Ah (discharge) since start of test
Wh-Charge	Wh (charge) since start of test
Wh-Discharge	Wh (discharge) since start of test
Ah-Step	Ah of the step
Wh-Step	Wh of the step
Ah-Set	Settable Ah counter (charge + discharge)
Wh-Set	Settable Wh counter (charge + discharge)
Ah-Charge-Set	Settable Ah counter (charge)
Ah-Discharge-Set	Settable Ah counter (discharge)
Wh-Charge-Set	Settable Wh counter (charge)
Wh-Discharge-Set	Settable Wh counter (discharge)
Ah-Cyc-Charge	Ah charged within the actual loop (sum of all cycles)
Ah-Cyc-Discharge	Ah discharged within the actual loop (sum of all cycles)
Wh-Cyc-Charge	Wh charged within the actual loop (sum of all cycles)
Wh-Cyc-Discharge	Wh charged within the actual loop (sum of all cycles)
Ah-Cyc-Charge-0	Ah charged within the actual loop (only actual cycle)
Ah-Cyc-Discharge-0	Ah discharged within the actual loop (only actual cycle)
Wh-Cyc-Charge-0	Wh charged within the actual loop (only actual cycle)
Wh-Cyc-Discharge-0	Wh discharged within the actual loop (only actual cycle)
P[W]	Power
Cyc-Count	Cycle counter
R_dc, R_dc	Internal resistance
Level	Level in case of nested subroutines
Aux1**	Auxiliary Channel 1
Aux2**	Auxiliary Channel 2
Aux3**	Auxiliary Channel 3
Aux4**	Auxiliary Channel 4

*: This data is always stored
**: The names of Aux1 - Aux4 can be changed by the basytec.ini file

The use of subroutines

Subroutines are helpful to carry out tasks that are needed more than one time. On the one hand side, subroutines increase the clearness of test programs and on the other hand side testetd subroutines increase the reliability. It is possible to pass over variables to a subroutine. Nested subroutines are also allowed.

Subroutine names do always start with @. The following figure shows an example:

It is possible to open subroutines. Then all steps of the opened subroutine are displayed within the main test program.
