Change Log
(Further) Automate Your Test File Evaluation:
-
- Add individual components—such as cells, electrolytes, electrodes, separators, and cell formats—to your Collect specimen library and assign them a unique Specimen ID.
-
- Use a file name nomenclature that includes Specimen IDs.
-
- Upload test files containing one or more Specimen IDs.
-
- Collect automatically creates and links a parameter file, using all IDs found in the file name that match entries in the specimen library.
-
- Collect automatically triggers the evaluation.
Result: The entire process, from gathering files to evaluation, is fully automated. For more details, please refer to the Collect manual.

-
- Standardization: Transform raw data from various test devices into your customized target structure effortlessly.

-
- The Collect admin can now edit user (group) names

-
- Enhanced File Management for Collect Admins: Admins can now better control which files are accessible to employees. New filtering options allow you to sort files by project number and PSP-Element (if integrated with SAP).

-
- Fully Customize Your File Name Nomenclature: Take advantage of new pre-defined ‘descriptions’ and a brand-new feature to create your own custom ‘descriptions’ for your file name segments. Easily add or edit your personalized ‘descriptions’ to tailor your file name nomenclature exactly to your needs.

-
- Auto-update of benchmarks: If a single test is updated or reevaluated, all connected comparisons involving that test will be automatically updated as well..
-
- Manage battery safety test data in Collect. Save information like ‘on-set temperature’, ‘thermal runaway temperature’ and emitted gas volume and correlate them with cell and material parameters.

-
- Data loggers generate data tables that include multiple tests as well as irrelevant data from test breaks. You can now connect your data loggers to Collect and extract the relevant data for a specific test from these tables.

-
- Fix: We observed an issue where the web browser could block communication and up-/downloads to Collect, preventing test data from being analyzed. To resolve this, we replaced that communication with the Collect API.
-
- Some menu names, tooltips, and help buttons have been renamed or updated.
To enhance data security, we have replaced passwords with tokens. Tokens are now required to connect Data Analysis, Collect, and Mind, as well as to access the API with your own code or third-party software.
After updating Data Analysis, Collect, or Mind, you must create and use tokens. Your Collect and Mind login passwords remain unchanged and are still required.
For general information, please watch the basics video, and for detailed instructions, refer to our tutorial video.

-
- Receive alerts in Microsoft Teams if a (running) test meets your individual criteria. For general information, please watch the basics video, and for detailed instructions, refer to our tutorial video.
