The animated screen dump above shows the main window of the Batscan monitoring software. This site has 10 batteries of various configurations with a total of 426 monitored channels. All values are continuously updated every 2 seconds on the operator's display, giving a real time confirmation of the battery status.

The actual data acquisition sequence is shown as a progress bar, which serves as a status indicator for the monitoring system itself. The total length of the progress bar window represents the interval between measuring cycles (2s). On the left hand side, the dark gray field is the sampling and integration time during which all channels are actually measured in the modules (0.2s), thereafter follows a light gray field in which all the data from the measurement is collected from the modules (0.8s), the last dark gray field represents the time used by the PC to post process the received data and update the display (0.3s). A small black mark indicates the normal end of the acquisition sequence (1.3s).

The main window is divided in 3 sections each section showing battery status with different details level;
