bq40z60 - How to determine Chemistry ID using bqStudio

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ40Z60

Hi,

I am trying to use the bq40z60Eval board and bqStudio to determine the chemistry ID of a cell which is not in the predefined database.

I need some help with the following topics:

1. How do I set-up bqStudio to record voltage, current and temperature for example every second?

2. Document SLVA725 mentions that GPC Packer, which is part of bqStudio can be used to generate all required files. However, there is no such tool, option, or button, in the bqStudio Version 1.3.52 which I am using - but it is described in the help file so I suppose it must be somewhere but cannot find it. The question is how can I find and use this tool?

3. After I get this done, what would I need to do next to get the bq40z60 finally working and showing also the correct remaining battery capacity? Currently it shows always 100% no matter if the battery is fully charged or completely discharged.

I attached my current .pp log if this is required.

Thanks,

Fred
