BQ78350-R1: How do I generate the OCV.DAT file required for the CEDV6_16_init_2000.mcd mathcad document?

Part Number: BQ78350-R1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: GPCCEDV,

I'm going through the instructions in the Advanced guide to mathcad_CEDV calculation powerpoint, and I'm running the example mathcad sheet provided with SLUC564FW

The package includes a file called OCV.DAT which is not described in the literature anywhere that I can see. Removing it breaks the mathcad sheet, so presumably it's important. The notes in the mathcad document call it a "stadard OCV file." (I'm assuming that is a typo and it should be "standard") but I don't know where this file comes from.

This is what's in it:

Column 1 appears to be a state of charge percentage, column 2 appears to be a cell voltage and column 3 appears to be temperature in kelvin. The problem is, if I could get those numbers as they relate to each other I wouldn't need to calculate the CEDV coefficients so the pack could tell me what those numbers are.

So my question is, where do I get this file?

  1. Is it a generic file that is the same across all cell chemistries?
  2. Is it supposed to be generated from the pack under test?
  3. Is it a file that should be provided by the cell manufacturer?
  4. Is it from some other method that I haven't thought of?

Your help would be appreciated.
