The database structure for the battery application corresponds to the structure of the modular application as described in the PAtools User Manual.

Store all test procedures in the Test_Procedure_Library. The folder structure of the Test_Procedure_Library is as follows:
Test_Procedure_Library
     <Test procedure type> folder
             <Test procedure group> folder
                      DeviceUnderTestTypeAssignments folder
                      TestProcedureContect folder

The folder TestProcedureContent contains all procedures. The template of the folder contains the following items:

  • Device_Control_Sequences—Folder that contains all sequence tables that you can use for switching on and off different devices at the test station. For example, activate and deactivate the climate chamber or water conditioning unit (chiller). You can adapt and use the example sequences as needed.
  • Sequencer_Configuration—Folder that contains the Sequencer_Config_File.TAB table needed for setpoint files.
  • ISO-12405-04—Folder that contains procedures from the ISO-12405-04 standard. You can adapt the procedures as needed. This folder is only applicable for module applications and pack applications.
  • Standard_Cycle_Lion— Folder that contains the standard cycle.
  • ABT_Pre.ABT—Sequence table that always executes before running the Main_Sequence. You can enter the sequences that are to be started before the main sequence here. For example, all actions to bring the test station into a certain state.
  • CustomerTest.SEQ—Sequence table template that you can copy and customize to create your own procedures.
  • Main_Sequence—Sequence tables that execute during a test. You can enter different test procedures in this table. For example, you can enter capacity test or peak power test. The tests execute sequentially.
  • Test_procedure_variables—Group in which you can define variables that are used in the test processes.
