In Arbin software, MV_UD (short for User-Defined Meta Variables) is a powerful tool for controlling battery testers. This article explains how to use MV_UD in Arbin MITS software. Storing Values in MV_UD with SetValue(s) In the Control Type list, select SetValue(s). SetValue(s) assigns a fixed value of a physical quantity at a specific moment to […]

It allows users to monitor test data, plot curves, and export data files efficiently. It enables users to visualize and analyze key electrochemical parameters such as voltage, current, capacity, and time. 1.2 Purpose of This Application Note The […]
We previously examined the impact of measurement accuracy in an earlier article. In this article, we shift our focus to the influence of a battery tester’s precision on battery research. In many research applications, parameters such as dV/dt and dQ/dV are widely used. The reliability of these measurements depends heavily on the precision of the […]
In the previous article, we introduced the concepts of accuracy and precision, along with a brief overview of their influence on battery testing. In this article, we will take a deeper look at the impact of accuracy. We will take an example about the impact on capacity measurement and Coulombic Efficiency measurement. As we all […]
1. Introduction Battery testing is fundamentally a measurement task. Whether evaluating cycle life, coulombic efficiency, voltage response, or degradation mechanisms, the quality of conclusions depends on the quality of the data. Two concepts govern data integrity in any battery test system: accuracy and precision. Although often mentioned together, they describe different aspects of measurement performance. […]
Information and Instructions for using the Simulation control types. 1. General Description Simulation refers to the ability to input data collected from a non-formulated dynamic regime (i.e. other than Constant Current, Constant Voltage, Constant Power, Ramp, Staircase, Pulse, or Formula) as a control function. There are three control types: 1. Current Simulation – uses a […]
I. Introduction to 3E cell In a battery with 2 electrode, when you measure the battery voltage, you measure the potential difference between the cathode and anode of the battery. In this case, you only see the total difference in potentials and do not know how much each electrode contribute to this difference. You would […]
Arbin continues to power innovation in many areas of battery research, including electrochemical experiments such as cyclic voltammetry (CV). Arbin equipment is designed to perform electrochemical experiments with the precise circuitry required for linear voltage ramps, while the MITS software gives the user a wide variety of options to create test schedule profiles. Understanding the […]
Mechanism explanations: Arbin’s MITS software uses pulse method to calculate IR. In order to achieve better accuracy, the software measures the IR 10 times and takes the average. The pulse looks like the graph bellow: IIR is the amplitude value T2 is the extra control value1 I0 is the offset value IR Calculation Formula: IR […]
I. Purpose and Applicability Battery testing—whether for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, or industrial systems—demands strict safety protocols. One often overlooked but critical element in test chamber safety is the door switch interlock system. This simple yet powerful mechanism helps prevent injuries, equipment damage, and test data corruption. In this article, we’ll explore how door switch […]
According to the standard specifications published by Arbin, integrating a Gamry device with an Arbin system typically limits the device’s original frequency capability from 2 MHz down to 100 kHz. However, in this article, we will introduce a solution that allows the system to retain the full 2 MHz frequency, with some trade-offs to consider. Pre-Conditions for Achieving […]
Die IR-Messung ist entscheidend, um einen Einblick in eine Batterie zu bekommen. Es gibt viele Wege, d.h. viele Standards, um den IR-Wert einer Batterie zu messen. Dieser Artikel stellt den IEC 61960-Standard vor und zeigt, wie er mit den Geräten von Arbin umgesetzt werden kann. IEC 61960 Standard für Batterie-IR: In diesem Standard wird ein Entladeimpuls von 0,2C für 10 [...]
