I have multiple climate chambers from different brands. Can I buy one MTCI unit and switch it between the chambers?
The answer is yes and no. Yes, if those chambers use the same communication protocol. For example, Votsch VT4002 and Weiss WT20/40 use the Votsch L4006 protocol. If you have these two chambers, you only need one MTCI unit. However, if you have another chamber like Espec SU-241 that uses […]
Can Arbin software generate a graph comparing data across cycles for one or multiple channels?
Yes. Arbin Data Watcher software (Version 2.2.217 and later) can do this. In Data Watcher software, click “Edit Chart Template”. From the Model dropdown, select “CycleCompare”. Return to the main window of Data Watcher. In the axis configuration, you can select the physical quantity for the X, Y1, and Y2 […]
What does “Step Control Error Check Unsafe” mean?
The “Step Control Error Check Unsafe” warning indicates that the system has detected a significant deviation between the expected (configured) output and the actual measured output during a test step. They are designed to detect open circuits or short circuits caused by loose IV cable connections, it also detects abnormal […]
My Charge/Discharge current is almost 0 or much less than set value?
In some cases, the charge or discharge current may be significantly lower than the configured value, or even close to zero. This issue is typically caused by software configuration limits or hardware-related problems. This article provides a structured troubleshooting guide to help identify and resolve the issue efficiently. Symptoms You […]

My test stopped due to an error called “Tokenbroken”
This error indicates too much data logged at a very short period of time. Check the schedule, make sure the data log setting is appropriate. Please open the schedule and locate the Log Limit: Then check the following points: Logging interval (time between data points)Many Arbin machines can acquire data […]
Why can’t I see the auxiliary value even though I have already mapped it?
In some cases, users may successfully configure (map) an auxiliary channel, but the corresponding auxiliary values do not appear during test execution. This issue is typically caused by missing schedule assignment or incomplete auxiliary channel configuration within the schedule. Possible Causes No schedule or an incorrect schedule is assigned to […]
Why does my schedule stop immediately after starting?
In some situations, a schedule may stop immediately after it starts. This behavior usually occurs when certain safety conditions are not met or when required devices are not properly connected. The system automatically stops the schedule to prevent unexpected behavior, hardware damage, or unsafe operating conditions. This article provides common […]
