Operation

Figure 7. SBS Data Screen

This screen (Figure 7) shows the SBS data set along with additional ManufacturersAccess() command

information, such as individual cell measurements. Additional Flag and Static data can be viewed by

selecting the appropriate tab at the bottom of the SBS screen.

Data such as SBS.ManufacturerName( ) is static and does not change. This data is viewed separately

using the Static Data tab available at the bottom of the screen.

Dragging the splitter bar (the line that separates the Flags/Static data from SBS values) changes the

height of the Flags/Static Data display. Selecting | View |, then | Auto Arrange | returns the splitter bar to

its original location.
