This screen provides access to live data from third party devices that operate over the CANBUS protocol. This list of third party devices is not exhaustive, but represents a collection of devices that have been confirmed to be compatible with the BMS.
This section allows for viewing data from the third party device as well as the BMS simultaneously to diagnose any potential integration problems as well as do performance tracking.
Data can also be logged from the BMS on this screen using the "Start Logging' button. A dialog will pop up asking which BMS parameters it should log. Simply select which parameters to log and press "Apply' at the bottom to begin logging.
To chart a previously taken data log
Press the "Chart a Logfile' button on the Live Graph & Data Logging page (or select "Data Logging' → "Chart Logfile' from the main program menu).
Select the desired logfile on the hard-disk to chart it. The logfile may take a few moments to process. When it is complete a chart should be visible with several available options along the left side.
Selecting these options will toggle which parameters are actively displayed from the logfile.
If the third party device supports OBD2, error codes (Diagnostic Trouble Codes from the device can be displayed and cleared in this window. Not all devices support the OBD2 protocol so not all devices are able to report error codes to the BMS utility. This tab will only be available if the selected device supports OBD2 error code reporting.
