BQ-BATTERY-PROGRAMMER-SW

Description:

BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE software is a software update for BQMTESTER(BQMTESTER Multi Channel Test and Program software) and ADVANCED-BQMTESTER(Advanced bqMTester Multi-Station Test and Program Software) to allow it to work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. This update installs a program that allows switching the USB transceiver target in BQMTESTER and ADVANCED-BQMTESTER software from/to EV2300 to/from MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300. There are also some changes required on the hardware side as described in the PDF guide in the install folder.

The program requires administrator privileges.

Requirements:

• Hardware: MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300, 3.3V LDO with connectors, BQMTESTER or ADVANCED-BQMTESTER board
• Supported operating systems: Windows (32 or64 bits)
• Software: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Runtime redistributable

Getting started:

1. Download the software

2. Run the installer and check the option to create shortcuts

3. Run the program using shortcut named BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE from Start menu/Desktop

4. Allow administrator privilege when/if prompted

5. On the GUI window that opens, select the target transceiver to support and follow steps to switch

6. Connect matching transceiver and start BQMTESTER or ADVANCED-BQMTESTER software

Note: BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE and BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE both update the same software components. Switching the USB transceiver using any of these shortcuts will also switch it in the other.

Description:

BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE software is a software update for BQEVSW (bq Evaluation Software) and BQEASY (bq EV-Easy) to allow it to work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. This update installs a program that allows switching the USB transceiver target in software like BQEVSW and BQEASY from/to EV2300 to/from MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300.

The program requires administrator privileges.

Requirements:

• Hardware: MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
• Operating system: Windows (32 or 64 bit)
• Software: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Runtime redistributable

Features:

• Enable use of MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 in older software like BQEVSW and BQEASY
• Switch back to use of EV2300 in older software like BQEVSW and BQEASY

Getting started:

1. Download the software

2. Run the installer and check the option to create shortcuts

3. Run the program using shortcut named BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE from Start menu/Desktop

4. Allow administrator privilege when/if prompted

5. On the GUI window that opens, select the target transceiver to support and follow steps to switch

6. Connect matching transceiver and start BQEVSW, BQEASY or other similar software.

Note: BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE and BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE both update the same software components. Switching the USB transceiver using any of these shortcuts will also switch it in the other.

Description:

BQ-BATTERY-PROGRAMMER-SW software development kit (SDK) is a collection of robust software command line tools that assist with the process of programming, testing, or assembling packs that use TI Battery management products. The executables in this software work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. The executables work with a single station but can be extended to multiple stations by using additional software and GUI from MKS Technology Inc. . Support for multiple stations is not included in this software.

There are multiple executables in the download, usually one per family of products. Older products such as BQ20xxx and BQ30xxx are also supported.  Examples using  the C++ programming language API and Python® programming language are provided for custom development.

Requirements:

• Hardware: MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
• Supported operating systems: Windows (32 and 64 bits)
• Software: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Runtime redistributable

Features:

• Collection of command line executables for Windows
• Small executable size with few dependencies
• Fast programming
• Supports BQFS/DFFS and SREC file formats
• Provides C API for custom code development
• Callable from other programs for automation
• Portable design simplifies deployment
• Separately downloadable support software to enable legacy software like BQEVSW and ADVANCED-BQMTESTER to work with MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300

Getting started:

1. Download the software

2. Run the installer

3. The executables, C API and Python API files can be found in the install location

4. Run the command line executable without arguments to get usage help. Refer to Readme.txt in the install folder for more information and how to get help using the command line.
