.GG files
Starting with version 1.82 we include
support for .GG (Gas Gauge) files that is a proprietary format of Texas
Instruments company. Actually its a text file with a set of data flash
parameters for BQ20XX chips. Just read the chip or open a binary file of BQ20XX
data flash and then open the .GG file you. Values in dump window will change.
Then just press Write button and new parameters will be stored in data flash. In
your installation directory you can find two samples of .GG files for BQ2083/85
and BQ2084. The values stored in the files a default values from
datasheet. You can change any number of values. For example if you want to
change Manufacturer Name , Date and Cycles count you need to create a text file
with 3 strings:
Manufacturer Name=Test
Cycle Count=0
MfrDate(yyyy-mm-dd)=2009-07-07
Save the file as mytest.gg. Read the chip
or open a binary file of BQ20XX and then open mytest.gg file. The
data will change. Pres Write button. The data will be stored in data flash. Now
if you read the battery you will see that Manufacturer Name become “Test”,
Cycles count become 0 and Manufacture Date changed to
2009-07-07.
In 1.82 version .GG files are supported for
BQ2083, BQ2085 and BQ2084 chips only.
