The BTS-16110 provides two measurement inputs. One input measures the battery voltage and the second input measures the output of the current transducer. The battery voltage monitoring wire connects to the terminals of the battery being tested (the DUT). The current transducer accessory connects between the battery cycler and DUT, where the current is flowing. The device communicates over an Ethernet connection with the host PXI chassis of the battery testing application. The following figure illustrates this configuration.

BTS-16110 reports high accuracy voltage measurement and current measurement data to the host PXI chassis. The device maintains high accuracy measurements through continuous background calibration and the internal temperature regulation. The host uses this data to calculate the power in and out of the battery and the performance characteristics of the battery. The host modifies other components of its test system, such as the battery cycler, in response to data reported from BTS-16110.
