摘要:
An apparatus for entering information into a battery test/charger that includes a bar code reader, a controller that is used to receive information from the bar code reader wherein the controller controls a battery tester/charger. In addition, a method for entering information into a battery tester/charger that includes reading a bar code and inputting information into a controller for the battery tester charger based on the bar code. An additional method of recording information about a battery that includes printing information on a bar code reflecting information about the battery and associating the bar code with the battery.

摘要:
An alternator and starter tester system having a starter current zero test. The current is measured before and after a solenoid of a starter motor is energized and deenergized to determine if the starter motor should be failed. This allows the operator to quickly determine if the starter motor is stuck on during normal starter motor testing.
摘要:
An alternator and starter tester system having a bar code reader. The bar code can contain information regarding the component being tested and can direct the tester to conduct the appropriate test. The bar code can also encode the results of the test on a second bar code. The second bar code can then be coupled to the tested component.
摘要:
An alternator and starter motor tester system having alternator cable check. The alternator cable connector is specific to an alternator type. The cable connector is monitored so that if it fails a certain alternator type for a predetermined number of times in a row, the cable will be locked.

A user interface for a software-driven system includes a switch selectable between a plurality of discrete positions, a database of functions performable by an execution unit within the system, and software configured to correlate positions of the switch with functions within the database. Indicia may be provided at the various discrete positions identifying the functions corresponding to these positions. By placing the switch in a particular discrete position, the user can select a function from the database. The indicia may be interchangeable, and the database and software upgradeable, such that additional or different functions may be selected via the user interface without resort to substantial hardware upgrades. A display and optical indicators may provide system state information to the user. A software-driven battery charging/testing system includes means for executing battery-related functions, means for storing a database of battery-related functions, and means for selecting from the database.
