| Battery Recording Software |
+----------------------------+

1. Overview

- Developed using Visual Studio 2005
- Written in Visual C++
- Records Battery Drain Rate and CPU Usage (%) every second

2. Compilation

- Open the Visual Studio project file "batteryinfo2.sln"
- Compile

3. Program Details

- This software will always not do anything for the first 60 seconds.
- It will start transmitting or receiving only after the first 60 seconds.
- You can control the rate at which you want to send packets at.

4. Usage

batteryinfo2.exe <mode> <duration> <filename> <packet size> <rate>
<mode> : I for Idle, T for Transmit, R for Receive
<duration> : the length of the experiment in seconds
<filename> : file to save the trace
<packet size> : size of the packets to transmit (optional. only for Transmit mode)
<rate> : trasmit rate (packets/second) (optional. only for Transmit mode)

For example, to record what the device uses without doing anything for 5 mins, use the command
"batteryinfo2.exe I 300 idle.tr"

For receiving packets, you need to have another device send packets to the device running 
this software. You can use mgen or other software to send packets.
