What to do if the MITS Monitor & Control window freezes while the machine is still running

October 9, 2026

You can close the Monitor & Control window and reopen it. The Windaq in MITS 10 and DAQ window in MITS 8 are the core of the software. Monitor and control window is only the UI. Short answer Close the frozen Monitor & Control window and open it again. The machine and the test keep […]

Will the formula be locked if the schedule using it is running

September 11, 2026

Yes — in both MITS8 and MITS10, formulas are part of the schedule. And this isn’t limited to formulas: other library items such as Pulse, Cyclic Voltammetry, and Test Settings also cannot be changed while a schedule is running. Once a schedule starts, only a very limited set of its elements can be modified. Examples […]

What is Pulse in Arbin Library

August 28, 2026

What is a Pulse step? A Pulse applies a rapid sequence of current steps, each held for a set time in milliseconds, producing a square-wave load instead of a steady one. It is used for short-duration, high-rate testing — internal resistance (DCIR) measurement, pulse-power characterization, and simulating the bursty current draw of real devices. How […]

What is Cyclic Voltammetry and how to use it in Arbin software

August 21, 2026

Cyclic Voltammetry sweeps a potential (or current) linearly between set limits at a fixed scan rate, then reverses it to form a complete cycle. It’s used to study redox reactions, kinetics, and the electrochemical behavior of materials. In Arbin, a CV routine is defined at two levels: CV level: identifier (CV Label), number of sweep […]

What is Arbin Test setting

August 14, 2026

Test Settings Test Settings is a feature in Arbin’s MITS software that lets you control peripheral hardware — third-party temperature chambers, digital output (DO), and analog outputs (AO) — directly from the test schedule. Use it to: Set the target temperature on a temperature chamber Set target pressure and humidity on a pressure/humidity chamber Send […]

What are Formula and Advanced Formula in Arbin Software?

August 6, 2026

Arbin Software lets you control a test with variables instead of fixed values. For example, rather than entering 4.2 V as a control value, you can set the next step’s control type to Last Step Maximum Voltage. These variables can also be combined into formulas that drive the test. For example, you can define FORMULA […]

Can you share Arbin’s warranty policy, including what it covers and excludes?

How’s strong is Arbin Lua script

July 29, 2026

With Lua scripting, you gain precise, programmable control over your Arbin test equipment. Combined with Schedules, Lua scripts provide a more advanced way to automate and fine-tune your tests. Lua scripting can reference and calculate live testing Lua metavariables, dynamically adjust channel output using complex logic, change ODR within a step, log data at any […]

How many variable can Arbin SMB support?

July 29, 2026

Arbin SMB, unlike CAN BMS, supports a maximum of 128 variables — a limit shared by both MITS8 and MITS10.

How many variable can Arbin CANBMS support?

July 16, 2026

MITS 8 supports 512 variables. MITS 10 and onward support 2500 variables. Meta Variable Name — The meta variable name is predefined in MITS 10 and cannot be edited. Meta variables store the values of CAN signals and make them available for use in the schedule. They are named CAN_MV_RXn, where n = 1, 2, […]

Efficient Schedule Writing: Import, Copy/Paste, and Sub-Schedule Tools

July 16, 2026

Yes, Arbin MITS software provides several tools to help you during schedule writing. You can import content from other schedules, and you can also duplicate content within a schedule itself. In MITS 10, a sub-schedule option is also available. We’ll walk through each of these. Importing content from another schedule: a. Click the “Import Step” […]

Can Arbin test other things such as battery vibration, penetration?

July 1, 2026

Arbin battery testers are primarily used for electrical performance testing. For mechanical abuse tests such as vibration, crush, or nail penetration, Arbin can be integrated with third-party mechanical/safety test equipment to control charging/discharging, monitor battery response, log synchronized data, and trigger safety actions through auxiliary I/O. For vibration testing, the main machine is usually a […]
