Introduction
Think EV Monitor is a solution for gathering and collecting information
from Think electric cars produced between 1999 to 2003. It is not
compatible with any other vehicle.
The solution consist of Think interface cable, Palm connection cable,
software for palm m500 family device. It is recommended that the
software is run on a palm m505 or m515 device, with background light
switched off or set on low. Both m505 and m515 feature reflective color
screen which is very visible in most orientations.
Installation
There are 3 major ways of installing the software – hotsync, sd card, beaming.
Hotsync
Installation of the software is done via “Palm Desktop” “HotSync Manager” application, downloadable
from
www.palm.com
(
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchTab.asp?t=home&fn=m-series&mn=m515&cn=unlocked)
.
Once the Palm Desktop applications are installed, a double click on the ThinkEVMonitor.prc file will
schedule the software for installation with the next synchronization.
Please note that the synchronization between pc and palm is started via the palm device – tap on the
“home” and then on the “HotSync” icon.
If you experience any problems with the synchronization please see here for an excellent step by step
trouble shooting:

SD Card
Installation and running of the software is possible via SD card. Put an empty SD card in your
computer and create a folder named “PALM”. Then move to the newly created “PALM” folder and in it
create a subfolder named “launcher”. After that copy the prc file to the “launcher” folder on the SD
card. Eject the SD card from your pc and insert it in the slot on the palm handheld. The palm should
open up with the icon of the program.
IR Beaming
Many laptops have IR beaming capability – just point the palm handheld (while it is on) with it's top to
the IR port of the computer. In Windows XP a small popup with show up and offer to exchange files.
Select the prc file and beam it to the palm device.

After installation
After installation the “Think EV Monitor” program the tap on the icon ( ) of the program to start it.
Note that in most cases it would necessary to scroll down to make the “Think EV Monitor” icon

buttons on the device. To do that, tap on “Preferences” icon and then choose “buttons” (from the top
right corner), click next to the button icon for the button you would like to use to start the program and

Interface and functions
Once started the “Think EV Monitor” automatically attempts to connect to the last Ecu used. Currently
there are two Ecus supported - the Battery management system (BMS) or the Charger of the vehicle.
Example of parameters that can be monitored is “pack voltage”, “state of charge”, various
temperatures. All available parameters for each Ecu are listed at the end of this document.
General
While the interface allows for monitoring only 7 parameters at one time, all
parameters for the currently selected Ecu (BMS or Charger) are logged. The
frequency of the logging (time between each log row) can be adjusted via
the configuration button.
The main screen of the program contains 4 large
and 3 smaller parameter view boxes, each of
them displays one parameter. For parameters that
have color settings, the view boxes change background color with the value
of the parameter.
To change the parameter displayed in a particular view box, just tap on the
view box and a list with possible parameters will be displayed. Tap on the
desired parameter and select the “done” button. The 4 large parameter view
boxes display parameter name and unit, while the small ones do not display
the parameter name. Any of the parameter view boxes can display any parameter for the currently
selected ECU.
Custom colors
Each of the parameters can have custom background colors. To change the
colors tap on the color selector under the parameter list and a color
configuration screen will be presented.
The custom background colors work based on a
color;limit;color description. The limit is the
value at which the background color for a
particular attribute will change. There is no
limit on the number of background colors, they
need to be specified in ascending order – like the example above – first 42
and then 48.
To change the configuration, just change the semicolon delimited text to the
configuration of values and colors you desire. Only the the following color names are accepted: Black,
Blue, Cyan, Green, LightGray, Magenta, Orange, Pink, Red, Yellow, White.
