Total
Total time. Shows the elapsed time since the start of the program. In SPV, for long-term cycling
make sure to set the parameter of the CUT TIME program option to OFF because CUT TIME is
limited to 1 day, whereas the timer of Total can count up to days and days.
BattTemp
Shows the battery temperature, or to be more precise, the slot temperature. Same value as seen
in GSV, it mostly serves as safety feature for battery overheat protection. To change the
temperature unit, go to GSV and change Temp Unit. Note that physically, temperature is a scalar
field quantity, i.e. any point on the battery surface will have a different temperature and depending
on the charging situation and your environment, the extreme temperature points on your battery
may be notably cooler or warmer than the single value given here.
SysTemp
Shows the internal system temperature. Same value as seen in GSV, it serves as safety feature
for device overheat protection. At full load it can go as high as 80°C or higher and will shut down
operation thereabout. The cooling fan is controlled by this value.
Batt IR
Shows the internal battery resistance in milliOhm (1mΩ). At the start of a program, the device
always performs a quick standard test first in order to determine the internal battery resistance.
Aged or poor condition batteries have a higher IR and therefore heat up more during charge or
discharge. This measurement might be slightly less accurate and reproducible than the separate
Batt IR measurement in TOV. In both cases battery contacting pressure and battery temperature
may affect it.

How to get there — In TOV, if there is at least one active slot, clicking the UP or DOWN button will
transfer to DDV.
How to exit — In DDV, pressing the ENTER button will return back to TOV. Or, after some period
of user inactivity, returns to TOV automatically.
The diagram drawing view (DDV) is a convenient way to get a quick overview of the battery
voltages, the internal temperature of the charger, or other relevant system quantities, graphed
over time. For the voltage graphs, the scaling of both axes is changed dynamically in order to
present the data in a meaningful way. For the charger temperature SysTemp, the vertical axis is
fixed. Since the horizontal axis represents the total time, very long program durations, for example
a CYCLE program with tens of cycles, will make the diagram look funny, so for higher resolution of
data and graphs the user is advised to do some PC time with the PC Link software. The displayed
voltage is live and in real time during the operation of a program (SNB: solid red), and its
recording stops after the program has finished normally (SNB: solid green). DDV can be accessed
from TOV only and there should be at least one busy or finished slot.
The controls in DDV are as follows:
Pressing the UP or DOWN buttons will cycle through the graphs of active slots.
In DDV, SNB`s of inactive slots are not responsive.
For active slots, clicking the SNB will directly switch to its graph, whereas depressing the SNB
will fully stop the slot. The latter will make the SNB turn from solid red or solid green to blinking
red-green.
Similarly to SOV, for busy slots, depressing the STOP button (=Finish) will stop the ongoing
routine and finish the entire program at this point, prematurely. The SNB turns from solid red to
solid green. This function provides some manual interactivity and control, if ever needed.
Pressing the ENTER button (=Return) will return back to TOV.
