get the maximum duration set for the experiment. The experiment will end when the duration of the experiment reaches this value.

Returns: the maximum duration for the experiment in seconds.

◆ getMinCurrent()

double AisConstantPotElement::getMinCurrent ( ) const

get the minimum value set for the absolute current in Amps. The experiment will end when the absolute current falls down to this value.

Returns: the minimum current value in Amps.

Note: this is an optional parameter. If no value has been set, the default value is zero.

◆ getMindIdt()

double AisConstantPotElement::getMindIdt ( ) const

get the value set for the minimum current rate of change with respect to time (minimum di/dt).

Returns: the value set for the minimum current rate of change with respect to time (minimum di/dt).

Note: this is an optional parameter. If no value has been set, the default value is zero.

◆ setApproxMaxCurrent()

void AisConstantPotElement::setApproxMaxCurrent ( double approxMaxCurrent )

set maximum current expected, for manual current range selection.

Parameters

approxMaxCurrent the value for the maximum current expected in Amps.

◆ setAutoRange()

void AisConstantPotElement::setAutoRange ( )

set to auto-select the current range.

This option is set by default. There is no need to call this function to auto-select if the range was not manually set.

◆ setMaxCapacity()

void AisConstantPotElement::setMaxCapacity ( double maxCapacity )

set the value for the maximum capacity / cumulative charge in Coulomb.

The is an optional condition. If nothing is set, then the experiment will not stop based on an upper-limit cumulative charge value. If a maximum capacity is set, the experiment will continue to run as long as the cumulative charge is below that value.

Parameters

maxCapacity the value to set for the cell maximum capacity.

◆ setMaxCurrent()

void AisConstantPotElement::setMaxCurrent ( double maxCurrent )

set the maximum value for the absolute current in Amps.

The is an optional condition. If nothing is set, then the experiment will not stop based on an upper-limit current value. If a maximum current is set, the experiment will continue to run as long as the measured current is below that value.

Parameters

maxCurrent the maximum current value in Amps.

◆ setMaxDuration()

void AisConstantPotElement::setMaxDuration ( double maxDuration )

set the maximum duration for the experiment.

The is an optional condition. If nothing is set, then the experiment will not stop based on an duration. If a maximum duration is set, the experiment will continue to run as long as the passed time is less than that value.

Parameters

maxDuration the maximum duration for the experiment in seconds.

◆ setMinCurrent()

void AisConstantPotElement::setMinCurrent ( double minCurrent )

set the minimum value for the absolute current in Amps.

The is an optional condition. If nothing is set, then the experiment will not stop based on an lower-limit current value. If a maximum current is set, the experiment will continue to run as long as the measured current is above that value.

Parameters

minCurrent the value to set for the absolute minimum current.

◆ setMindIdt()

void AisConstantPotElement::setMindIdt ( double mindIdt )

set the minimum value for the current rate of change with respect to time (minimum di/dt).
