Subject: Production difficulty bq20z45 with Advanced bqMTester and version 1.0.6 of PC software
Ed Walker,
We are able to load a golden .DFI file and calibrate our project with BQEASY.
For production we are trying the Advanced bqMtester with version 1.0.6 of the Mtester software.
They do not work.
Starting the Station Setup first we unlock the configuration.
Search for connected boards. It finds one board, there is a 5 second delay and then the message:
"This board was either disconnected or is in use by another program. Please make corrections and try again."
When we try again we get two error messages:
"Communication error -1 trying to read board firmware version."
"Communication error 8 trying to read ID for board 0."
When we start the MultiStation tester we get:
"Error: Expected 1 boards, Found 0"
Also in the beginning (idle) state of the tester, the pack "simulated power" is active with cell voltages of 3.8v. We may have a faulty board around Q1.
