I have here an Ancel BA101 battery tester, discovered by way of a YT video, and it's proved to be
a handy gadget to have. In the "user manual" for this device (available online) it talks
about the ability to print the data. Which requires you to connect it to a computer by way of a
USB cable plugged into the tester's USB port. The documentation further refers to inserting a CD
into the computer (it didn't come with any CD), making sure a driver was installed, then
"open the print software" and select the appropriate COM port.
I'm pretty sure that I don't need to install a driver, since I can connect all sorts of
USB stuff to this computer with no problems. I'm not sure what print software they refer
to here -- the illustration seems to refer to "PrintCOM v1.50421" which
appears to have print, clear, and COM port selection options but also appears to be some
kind of windoze software.
How would I address accessing this device under linux and getting its info out
to my printer?
I suggest that you contact Ansel technical support and tell them the
model and serial numbers of the tester, the make and model of your
computer, and what operating system you are running.
