The output is in three integer fields and one flag field, all
separated by spaces and terminated by a carriage return
/ linefeed pair. The first integer is the current rate in
femtoliters per second. The second integer is the infuse
time in milliseconds. The time has a granularity of 1
millisecond. The third integer is the infused volume in
femtoliters. All three values are for the current direction.
The flag field consists of six flags.
•
Flag one is the motor direction and will be “i or I”
if the pump is infusing and “w or W” if the pump is
withdrawing. If the letter is lower case, the pump
motor is idle. If upper case, the pump motor is
running.
•
Flag two is the limit switch status. If the infuse limit
switch was hit, “i or I” is displayed. If the withdraw
limit switch was hit, “w or W” is displayed. If no
limit switch was hit or the pump does not have limit
switches, “.” is displayed.
•
Flag three is the stall status and will be “S” if the
pump has stalled. Otherwise it will be “.”.
•
Flag four is the trigger input state and will be “T”
if high and “.” if low.
•
Flag five is the direction port state and will be “I”
for infuse and “W” for withdraw.
•
Flag six is the target reached status. It will be “T”
if the target time or volume was reached and “.”
if not.
