The evaluation kit includes the EVAL-ADICUP3029 Arm® Cortex™-M3 microcontrollerbased Arduino Uno form factor board, the EVAL-AD5941 daughter board and custom micro USB to crocodile cables to connect the hardware to various chemistry setups.
“There are two options for running battery impedance measurements on the EVAl-AD5941BATZ. The first is using SensorPal GUI tool. SensorPal provides an intuitive interface that allows the user to configure and update parameters such as frequency range and view measurement results in Nyquist form without needing to downlaod or use an IDE such as Keil. This option is best for rapid prototyping and measurement verification. The second option is to run the example projects in an IDE such as Keil to modify the low level embedded firmware. This options offers more control over the low level operation of the hardware but requires some knowledge of embedded C development”
Connected the board (micro USB)
Installed and launched SensorPal
Clicked Update Firmware
Connected to COM port
Dragged-and-dropped Battery Impedance block
Connected a 35E cell
Without changing anything (what happened?):
The cell was measured 21.3 mOhm @1kHz with the YR1035+ meter
⇒ 1kHz measurement seems very precise!

Starting from 100Hz:
On the Inspectrum.C, we have two default frequency tables:
