Creating a Configuration File for Tests

Create a configuration file to set test parameters that you can use for multiple tests. You can use configuration files with EIS, ACIR, and OCV tests.

1. In the LabVIEW Project Explorer, add the following library to the project: C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\nibcq\1\vi.lib\EIS.llb.
2. Open Write Configuration File.vi.
3. Enter a path name and a file name in the cfgFile control.
   For example, enter the following path in the control: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Cell Quality Test\configuration-1.json.
4. In the Test Parameters control, configure the desired parameters.
   1. Configure the Frequency Sweep Characteristics array.
      1. Select the number of arrays for the test.
      2. Select the Frequency (Hz). The frequency is limited by the number of arrays you selected.
      3. Select the Current Amplitude (A).
      4. Select the Number of Periods.
   2. Select the Voltage Limit Hi (V).
   3. Select the Nominal DUT Voltage (V).
   4. Select the Compensation Method.
   5. Select the Power Line Frequency.
5. Click Run.

Complete one of the following steps if you plan to use the configuration file in your test:

• For EIS tests, run EIS Create or Override Compensation Files.vi to use the same compensation value you selected in the configuration file. Modify the EIS test VI to use the configuration file as input to EIS Obtain Test Parameters.
• For ACIR tests, run ACIR Create or Override Compensation Files.vi to use the same compensation value you selected in the configuration file.
