Hi
I have finished successful learning cycle with BQ studio tool V 1.3.86 but facing issue while exporting data memory.
While do export getting error " Failed to execute runnable(org.eclipse.swt.SWTException:Widget is disposed ". Image attached for your reference .
Could you help me to rectify this issue on urgent basis ? If suggesting for install different tool version , then how to save all data for learning cycle which is running from last 30 hours .
Can we do create golden file without exporting/importing data memory ?
Regards

Hi,
I am able to do export and import data memory after enabling "UNSEAL FULL ACCESS" in BQ studio tool and then able create golden gg file .
Let me know my procedure is correct . Is there any alternate method to solve data memory exporting issue with error " Failed to execute runnable(org.eclipse.swt.SWTException:Widget is disposed " ?

Hello,
No the gauge must be unsealed full access in order to pull all the data from DF.
If it occurs with full access then you should update to the test version of bqStudio.
All the information is saved in the gauge so if you update bqStudio the information will not be lost.

Hi,
I think there is a confusion in understanding.
The DF export/import is happened after pressing button "UNSEAL FULL ACCESS" . After export /import , I am able to generate golden file also .
Let me know this procedure is okay or not .

Hello,
I am not following your question/issue. The gauge must be unsealed full access to pull the data memory, you must send the UNSEAL command then the FULL ACCESS command, Then you can export the .gg or .srec. That's the only way you can pull the data.

Hi ,
Thanks for reply.
Once I flashed newly generated GG file in another board , there is a mismatch in "full charge capacity unfiltered" value between calibrated Fuel gauge board .
The actual battery capacity value is 3000mAh . After successful learning cycle in calibrated board , "full charge capacity unfiltered" value shown in BQ studio is 2938mAh at 0% battery (3.147V). This is acceptable for us .
But once flashed golden file in another board , its "full charge capacity unfiltered" value is shown as 2258mAh at 27% ( 3.62V )
Attached screen image for reference. Is this create any issue ? if yes, how to rectify ?

Hello,
If you only flash the .gg file, the chem ID you found using GPCCHEM will not be transferred to the gauge. You should export the .srec and upload it for a new gauge. Try exporting the .srec from a fully calibrated gauge with Chem ID uploaded and learning cycle completed and upload that to a know gauge.

Hi ,
I exported .srec from a fully calibrated gauge with Chem ID uploaded and learning cycle completed to another BQ27542 board .Still there is a there is a mismatch in "full charge capacity unfiltered" value between calibrated Fuel gauge board .
During discharge cycle , it is noticed that there is % deviation between "State of charge" and "State of charge unfiltered".
Could you please check .srec file and .gg.csv file attached .

Hello,
The FCC will change depending on the conditions of the battery, discharge current, and temperature. SOC and SOC unfiltered will be different during discharge, there's a smoothing filter on the SOC value.

Hi ,
It is noticed that , once device kept for shutdown , then SOC is keep on changing towards SOC unfiltered value . Same way Full charge capacity also changes towards FCC unfiltered value .
Finally there is a difference of approximate 25% difference in SOC value before shut down and after shutdown. The end user feels battery capacity jumped 25% while kept for shutdown.
Let me know how to prevent difference in SOC and SOC unfiltered as wells FCC and FCC unfiltered during charge/discharge.

Hello,
The gauge uses a filter as stated before for the SOC, SOC unfiltered as no time constant so the SOC will converge to the SOC unfiltered.
Is there a lot of quiscent current while it is in shutdown draining the battery? what was the time period of shutdown? Was the battery relaxed upon exit and entry from shutdown?
There are many factors that can change SOC.
Sincerely,
Wyatt Keller
Hi,
The quiscent current in shutdown is only 375uA (micro Amps) . Around 20% deviations can be seen for shutdown period of 2 hours . But changes start within 5 minutes after shutdown .
It is noticed that fuel gauge goes to sleep during shutdown and exit from shutdown.

Hello,
I'm having trouble understanding the test you are performing. If the chem ID does not match you could have issues with the DOD being incorrect when the gauge does voltage correlation.
