Well, I got the bad news this morning.
Your battery test will probably have to be stopped before it's finished.
That's because I'll need to shut the host computer down tomorrow morning to install the PCI board used by the
ProMetric System - a photometer, radiometer, and beam profile analyzer all in one. The whole construction on the east wall (including the shelf the flashlight & sensor are on) will have to come down, so the test will be ruined anyway even if the computer itself could be left on.
If the test is indeed stopped prematurely, I'll restart it with a new battery at the earliest opportunity.
I'd rather sacrifice a 59 cent battery than delay the installation of a $9,000.00 instrument.
FYI I'll still use the current setup for battery decay tests, since it's immune to ambient light and day/night cycling, whereas the ProMetric will be sensitive to those variations.
I apologise for the inconvenience.
