Demo Tab
The
Demo
tab (
) demonstrates external controller logic to apply custom
emulation profiles and optimize charging current. This feature uses the LabView engine
to step through the selected files and store the current drawn by the device. Several
options are available to customize the operation of the demo and explore the potential
of the UCS81003.

STEP 1: CONFIGURE DEVICE FOR DEMO ROUTINE
The first step in preparing to run the Demo feature is to configure the device to the
desired starting configuration. A file has been preloaded at installation and is ready to
be used, or a new configuration can be created. Each time the
Demo
button (in the
Panel Control
section) is toggled, the
Setup.txt
file will be loaded.

) with the default profiles of the UCS81003. These files can be
changed easily by using the
Custom Charging
tab.
