Yes, that is possible. In the settings you can configure whether you want it to start automatically or by long pressing the Enter button.

I suggest that you contact @enova18650.com via PM and request the firmware. But I think it will probably be released publicly soon. Now if I could just make time to do some testing, maybe it would help the process alongā¦
Hello, thank you for the suggestion, I just did that. During my testing for the past few days (3.2.58 public firmware), I found some small glitches / areas of improvement which I wanted to suggest for potential improvement. If Enova replies, I will bring these to their attention. 
Actually there is one thing which I noticed: when put in a NiMh battery to charge, the voltage for the first few seconds spikes up well above 1.55V (between 1.6 to 1.8 V), then after about 10 sec or so gets back to normal range around 1.2-1.4 V, depending on the discharge state of the battery. But I noticed this voltage spike consistently and I was wondering if this is a glitch that can be improved or itās by design. Thank you for any info on this.
In simple mode, can you increase/decrease the charging current (like you can in the MC3000) - or do you have to just let it automatically do whatever is the default charge current for simple?
Currently thatās event the only option you have ā it always uses the current you choose.
Please donāt worry. This happens because the initial reading shows the closed-circuit voltage, while a few seconds later, it shows the batteryās open-circuit voltage.
That is to say that it always uses the default current you chose for Simple mode? Yes?
For Simple Mode, we will be offering two test versions:
Version 1
- Automatically detects the battery type (Li-ion Std, Li-ion 1.5V, Ni-MH)
- Uses the charging current set by the user
Version 2
- Automatically detects the battery type (Li-ion Std, Li-ion 1.5V, Ni-MH)
- Automatically selects the appropriate charging current

Based on what - battery type, battery capacity ā¦ ?
Based on a combination of factors: battery type, capacity, and internal resistance.
Thank you Enova. Is the initial higher closed-circuit voltage the internal voltage without the battery (load) being applied, before the charge actually starting? Many thanks.
Sorry for the late reply. My family has been recovering from influenza A.
There is another thread here by HKJ that talks about TestController and the Gyrfalcon S8000.
HKJ mentioned that you can right-click inside the Address field to find the address instead of typing it:
From my perspective:
61 is an early version of simple mode.
62 is a fork with simple mode + manual current selection.
63 is a fork with simple mode + automatic current selection.

Do you know, how to change digits when I try to change charge rate in Normal Mode? IĀ“m able to change number by pressing select, but IĀ“m not able to step to to right (or left) to change another number. In manual is to ādepressā the select button, but nothing happens. IĀ“m still on the same number (the first from the left). See video. FW 64.

Please update the firmware to V66.
1 Thank
Updated to FW v66 with no problems as usual. I noticed in the notes to the FW that the maximum charging capacity had been increased to 30000mAh. Very useful if you are testing high capacity cells.
Is there any chance we could have an increase in charging CURRENT as well - maybe to 3000mA?
Thanks for your review buddy

That would take a hardware change.
The Gyrfalcon S8000 supports up to 3A, and we will release the corresponding firmware in the future. However, a power supply of at least 60W is required.
1 Thank
I guessed that it would support more than the nominal 2A but 3A puts the S8000 up with the legendary MC3000 (in terms of current - S8000 is much more flexible in other ways) - so 3A is good news. The power supply that comes with the S8000 (mine anyway) supports 48W but an up to 100W supply is easily and cheaply available so I will look forward to the updated FW.
As usual, great responsiveness from Enova.
