How does Mac OS calculate the charging Cycle count?

Hello, Guys
How does Mac OS calculate the charging Cycle count? I just used my MBP for about 15 min without power plugged in and I saw it left about 90% battery. However after the battery be recharged, I checked system profiler. It shows charging cycle count increased 1. I do remember that last time I left almost the same percentage of battery and plugged in. After the battery was fully charged, profiler did show cycle count increased.
So I am wondering How does Mac OS calculate the charging Cycle count? Basing on the percentage left or something else?
Thanks,

Ok,
But does it count continuously or separatly? I mean One time I used 10% and recharged full; and next time I used 20% and fully recharged again. Does the OS increase the cycle count when the usage adds up to 100% no matter how many times of recharge?
Thanks,

  • How does Photoshop Elements set the histogram pixel count (Y value)?

    I use histograms a lot to evaluate the quality of an image. But I've noticed that some histograms have "flat peaks". I don't think that indicates real clipping is taking place, but it does raise the question as to what the maximum count is set to. I can find nothing that discusses this issue.

  • How does condition category affect the price procedure

    Hello Gurus,
         there is a case as following:
    if the condition type in the pricing analysis says in a billing document that the ‘‘condition is found and set,” and one is using the condition requirement number 024 (which only determines the price in billing document) yet still has to do new pricing in order to obtain the condition record, Should the condition category be blank, the system would propose the message “condition is found and set” but does not provide an actual condition record.
       the fault would be that the condition category on the condition type should be equal to L.
       so my question is " how does condition category affect the price procedure" ? thanks very much!

    Hi Zhang,
    -->Condition category is a classification of conditions according to predefined criteria.
    -->These categories include packaging costs, delivery costs, output taxes and discounts.
    -->The classification of conditions by condition categories can be used for analysis.
    I hope it will clear for you
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • How does waveform graph downsamples the data before it is plotted

    Hi,
    I'm interested in how does waveform graph downsamples the data before it is plotted and what algorithm is used for this purpose? My goal is to plot 30 plots that have 1M samples each and I would like to downsample them before plotting onto a graph. I tried several VIs/algorithms for resampling and none of them gave the same result as seen by waveform graph (when all the samples are plotted).
    For example, if only one sample of 1M samples is 1 and all others are 0, then after downsampling to 1k samples the sample is not visible on the graph anymore. However, if I plot all 1M samples directly onto the graph, then also this 1 sample is visible (see attached example). 
    Solved!

    WFGDownsampling.vi ‏19 KB

    Hi andrej,
    LabVIEW draws plots in the way that draw every pixel affected by signal. So for example if there is zero-valued 1M samples and even one equals to 1, you will see the peak. That is the reason why you do not get the exactly same behavior comparing to interpolating. But if you set FIR as interpolation mode in Resample Waveforms (single shot).vi, result is really similar, but of course amplitude is 1000-times smaller than original one (because there is dt set to 1000). Keep also in mind that in Graph 2, there is different Y-scale and it should be considered as noise, not relevant data, I would expect 1000-times smaller amplitude as in Graph 3, it is many more times smaller.
    I would also like to say something about downsampling (decimating) the data. If you have 1M samples, you can see the peak even that there is only one value. But bigger problem is that with this graph resolution (I guess that is not more than 1000px), it is problem to find position of this peak. It means that still the zoom is needed to know where the peak is. Usually, when there is that big set of data, you are extracting different data (statistical information, peaks in FFT, etc.) not just visual data in graph.
    Mariaaa:
    I do not understand your question, can you please describe more your needs? You mentioned saving the data into a file, you can use Write to Measurement File express VI or see Write to Text File.vi in Example Finder and try to appropriately modify it.
    Best regards,
    Martin
