1. FUNCTIONS OF THE „CM2024 LOGGER“ SOFTWARE • Display of the selected programme, the current programme section, the rechargeable battery chemistry, the time and charging parameters, such as voltage and charging current • Recording the progress of voltage, current, charging and discharging capacity, etc.
3. GETTING STARTED At the first start of the software, you need to select the COM port of the „Charge Manager 2024“ according to the entry in the control panel (in this example „COM7“. This setting can be changed under „Settings/COM-Port“ later. After confirming the selection with „OK“, the main window of the software appears.

General Notes: • The recorded data are always put in interim storage in parallel to the display in the temporary files as well. If there are temporary files at programme start, the programme offers to continue the recording. • When removing a rechargeable battery during the recording, the associated values are automatically deleted. This ensures data integrity. • The export functions for „Excel“ and „CSV“ refer only to the currently chosen charging slot.

The parameter setup of the battery slot where programme input is possible is displayed in blue. After clicking the parameter display, the charge programme input is now displayed. The parameters suggested by the charger are displayed and can now be changed. After clicking „Start“, the charging programme is executed.
7. SAVING/LOADING RECORDINGS The charge curves can be saved on the SD memory card and/or the PC („Save Logged Data“). When saving on the PC, it must be continually connected to the charger and the recording („Logging“) must be active. If the charging curves have been recorded on the SD memory card, the data can only be read via a card reader at the PC subsequently („Import Log File from SD Card“). It is also possible to load the saved records again with this software („Load Logged Data“). 8.
. DISPLAY OPTIONS Under „Display Style“, you can select the required display. If „Table“ is selected, only the data in table form are shown; when selecting „Charts“, the illustration of the curves for voltage and current in graphic form is active. There is also the option of concurrent display of both versions.
. OPERATION OF THE CHART FUNCTION Functions: Four views are possible: Line, bar, area chart and lines in 3D perspective („Tilt“ and „Rotation“ can be set).
Enlarging to certain areas, „Zoom“ by mouse: Keep the left mouse button pushed in the graphical display and draw a frame over the desired area.
