So the upcoming base Base 3 will have that functionality at some point (hardware is there, software not yet)... but There are also lots of DMM's out there which have a SD card or USB stick which you can log to. For example, see page 48 in this document

Constant current loads are easy. Like to have a data logger that does not need to be connected to a pc. I can download the logs, make graphs etc. but I might want the graphs to appear on the logger. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 19, 2019, at 8:12 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) >

If you can make a *constant current* load, then it's as simple as graphing voltage over time, and probably adding a low-voltage cutoff at the appropriate voltage. If you take the measurements at a regular interval, then you can also apply math to come up with a reasonable version of power in

I can make the loads. I like Mtn west but they want too much for the advanced version of the software. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 19, 2019, at 6:01 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) > wrote: > > The west mountain radio CBA IV can't really be beat for price and > functionality. > >

The west mountain radio CBA IV can't really be beat for price and functionality. For around $200, you get a little USB-attached unit which can discharge up to the lower of 150W or 40A, at a constant current. So you can set the discharge to the 20 hour rate for a battery, and an app on the PC

Re: [AFMUG] DC breaker panel or fuse for two feeds.

Just use a 1 u GMT fused distribution panel. A company like TRIMM has lots of options. If you other is not fused, the risk is that it could trip the breaker, hence, no power to your new one. GMT eliminates this issue. Internet. ​Phone. ​TV. Andreas Wiatowski CEO/Founder Silo
