Command Line Interface

Starting with version v0.5.0 ED BMSdiag will feature a Command Line Interface (CLI) to navigate through different diagnostic readouts. You can now get data about the charging system (NLG6 and standard OBL) or the cooling system beside the BMS data. See a complete description on the parameters here.

When the CAN-Bus is connected the system will start a standard query and will show them on a welcome splash screen. When the command prompt is displayed CMD >>, use the terminal (IDE serial monitor) to enter commands for further readouts.

Please set the terminal to CR (carriage return) for a new line. Otherwise the Command will be ignored!

It is also possible to enter a complete command including additional parameters, e.g. :

bms all to enter the BMS>> submenu and run the all command.

In every submenu you can enter a complete command like: bms t to switch to the other submenu and get the requested readout.

log on 10 to activate logging, with an interval of 10 seconds.

Starting with v0.7.0, the input is no more case sensitive!

obl	use on vehicle with standard charger
all	run all available tests in sequence
rpt	get a Battery Status Report (Description [[here
cs	enter the submenu for cooling and subsystems
log	start / stop logging of data
info	show if NLG6 was detected and the status of data logging
#	show real time data (like splash screen)
..	goto main menu

Command	Description
all	get all available datasets
v	get voltage values
t	get temperatures
