GPC Packager log file format

Fred P
Expert 2235 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78350, GPCCHEM, BQ34Z100-G1

Can you provide some documentation about the file format required for the GPC Packager?

The question arises because I have logged half my cycles with one version of Battery Studio (1.3.24) and the other with another version (the latest 1.3.42).
It appears that the file structures may not exactly be the same since the packager complains about that.  
I noticed one version uses commas as separator while the other uses spaces.  How nice... but the probem may not be only about separators.

Notepad++ helped me have all my files look very alike (all using commas now), enough alike to now get packager to complain about the header.
Along the way, I removed columns that both files did not have in common in hope of solving the problem.

At some point, the tool accepted my files but suggested a load of inexistant column headers to choose from (all those I had removed!).  That was suspicious so I restarted Battery Studio.
After feeding it the SAME files it accepted the minute before, it complained again about the wrong header.

After hours or reworking the files, I finally had something looking flawless.

GPC packager finally accepted to load the files while still suggesting loads of unavailable colums for temperature, voltage and current.  I just selected the relevant colums and pressed "Generate Package"

Then, the impossible happened: GPC packager WIPED OUT ALL MY FILES.  Read:  https://e2e.ti.com/support/power_management/battery_management/f/180/t/452839


I'll post the backup log files tomorrow expecting that someone at TI can help me get the CEDV parameters out of them.

To be continued...

By the way, I am logging off a BQ78350 device with an EV2300 (but I bet you begin to know my setup... ;) ).

    Here are the original and "incompatible" log files...log.zip


    I'll rework the files and see if I can reproduce the slaughter told in my other post.

    After hours reworking the files, I made it.
    Request for documentation still holds to avoid anyone else loosing as much time as me.

    Thanks for the feedback. We will work to improve the documentation.

    Hi,

    we have tried to upload file to GPC support , but we receive empty files.4760.roomtemp_rel_dis_rel.zip

    When looking into the file submitted we can not find the error.

    Here is the data-file and response:

    roomtemp_rel_dis_rel-report.zip

    It states on the webpage to report issues to the following E-mail, but I get reply that I´m not allowed to send mails to the receiver.

    I checked your data and it failed, because the GPCCHEM tool only accept CSV log data. Your log file used semicolons as delimiters. Here is the GPC report.

    Dear Thomas,
    thank You very much for prompt reply.
    I assume that it has something to do with different language settings, since we (in Sweden) cannot see semicolons :-)

    Hi


    I tried with comma separed csv and tab separated csv format, but sadly with no success.

    ChemistryIdentificationSemicolonSeparated.zip

    ChemistryIdentificationTabSeparated.zip

    I do not get any reply from the GPC tool. (I also checked the Spam folder)

    Do you have an Idea why I do not get any reply?

    Thank you very much!

    Thank you for the results.
    I tried again without the semicolons (and used the tabulator) but again with no success. (no reply at all)
    Could you send me the corrected file back so I can figure out what went wrong on my side.
    It would be nice if I can use the online tool properly, so I don't have to bother you for each time I submit a file.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thank you for the files.
    So I get that the file needs to be comma separated and with "carriage return" and with "line feed" symbol at each row end.

    I've seen that your computation bases on 1cell in the config.
    We use the bq34z100-G1 to monitor a block of two 6cell Lead crystal batteries (24V 22Ah). So this means we have 12cells.
    Putting that to the config file and submitting it, I get an empty result.
    Does the GPC Packager tool accept 12 cells?

    Yes, the GPCCHEM tool will accept higher cell count input files. I ran it with 12 cells and got the same results.
