Battery Life Estimator
Predicts how long a battery will last under specific conditions in various real-life applications. To forecast battery performance, input different usage scenarios, including deep sleep and active states.
Battery Profiler
Connect the battery to the main connectors and analyze its characteristics by monitoring and recording discharge patterns under various conditions. Multiple battery profiles can be created for later simulation or to compare against other battery types.
Battery Validation
Validate that a particular battery meets a device's specific needs and performance standards. Informed decisions about battery selection guarantee the battery will behave as expected in a real-world application. The capability to cycle batteries is available under Otii Ace Pro.
Record
The record button starts a new recording. When pressed, the button turns red. If the button is pressed again while recording, a new recording will be started without interruption.
Stop
The stop button stops the current recording.
Fit width
Enabling Fit Width will zoom out all graphs to display all content.
Zoom to selection
If a selection is made, it will be expanded to fill the entire view.
Follow
When Follow is enabled, the tail of the current recording remains visible in the view.
Selection tool
Allow users to pick a specific time span with the mouse. The statistics will then reflect data from the selected area. The size of the selection can be adjusted by dragging its edges and moving it along the time axis by simultaneously pressing ⌘ for macOS or Ctrl for Windows & Ubuntu.
Zoom tool
With the Zoom tool, you can select a specific area to magnify.
Drag tool
Allows users to move a particular graph in any direction. Pressing Shift ⇧ while dragging will only move the active graph. This offsets the graph relative to others and is useful when comparing different recordings.
Monitor
When Monitor is enabled, it will open a monitor view where connected Otii hardware can be monitored.
Notifications
When Notifications is enabled, it will open a notification view where you can check for notifications about software upgrades, device alerts, and other important information.
