Start faster
When following the instructions above, you probably noticed that PowerLab 8 asks a lot
of questions before it starts a charge, discharge, cycle or monitor. That enables you to
specify exactly what operations PowerLab 8 will perform. If all you want to do is Charge
a battery, and once you have a preset configured properly, two settings in the CCS
will speed up the process:
Activate the Enable Quick Start option.
When activated, Enable Quick Start lets you bypass many of the questions needed to
start a process. After activating this feature, press and hold ENTER if you don’t want to
select options such as discharge/cycle/monitor.
Disable the Choose Power Source at Startup option (only if you consistently use the
same power source).
On startup, PowerLab 8 will always use either the DC Power Supply or Battery profile—
whichever was last loaded before disabling the prompt.
Note:
The operation is now complete, but the “session” remains open so you
can review collected data. Once you press and hold ENTER, data collected
during the operation will be discarded. If you disconnect the pack before
ending the session, PowerLab8 will display a “Pack Removed” error. This is a
non-critical error, and you can ignore it in this situation.
Note:
You can also enable the Suppress Use Bananas Question option, but
this is not recommended.
