Entry Mode” by pressing and holding the ‘Rate’/’Program Phase #’ key until the current Phase number is
displayed. The display will show , where ‘01’ refers to Phase 1. The pump will now be in
“Program Entry Mode”. If the current Phase is not 1, press and hold the ‘Rate’/’Program Phase #’ key
until the display is as shown. The pump will now be in Phase 1.
When in “Program Entry Mode”, with the display showing the Program Phase number, pressing the
‘Volume’/’Program Function’ key will display the current “Program Function” for this Phase. If the
current function is ‘RATE’, then a pumping dispense or withdrawal can be setup for this Phase.
To change the “Program Function” selected, use the arrow keys to scroll through the functions until the
required function is displayed. If the function has an associated parameter, enter the parameter after the
function has been stored.
Momentarily pressing the ‘Volume’/’Program Function’ key again will exit “Program Entry Mode” and
display the “Volume to be Dispensed.” The pumping rate data, which includes the pumping rate,
“Volume to be Dispensed” and pumping direction, can now be setup as previously described.
When finished setting up the pumping rate data for the current Phase, enter “Program Entry Mode” again
to select the next Program Phase. Press and hold the ‘Rate’/’Program Phase #’ key until the Phase number
is displayed. Then use the arrow keys to set the Phase number to the next Phase to be setup. Pressing the
right-most arrow once will set the Phase to Phase 2. Now all pumping data will refer to Phase 2. The
second Phase can now be setup as described above for Phase 1.
Continue selecting Phase numbers and entering the dispense or control setup for each Phase of the
Pumping Program. The entire Pumping Program will be stored in non-volatile memory.
Use the ‘STOP’ function to stop the pump and end the Pumping Program. If the Pumping Program does
not operate the pump continuously, the last Phase of the Pumping Program must be a ‘STOP’ function
(unless the last Phase number is the maximum Phase number).
When the Pumping Program is started, with the ‘Start / Stop’ key, TTL I/O input, or RS-232 command,
the Pumping Program will begin operating from Phase 1.
Very complex dispensing Programs can be created with the Program functions available. Section 11.3
contains a detailed description of all the functions.
11.1.1 Pumping Program Phase Number
To set the current Program Phase number, enter “Program Entry Mode” and display the current Program
Phase number.
Using the right-most 2 arrow keys, change the selected Program Phase number. The displayed Program
Phase number now becomes the currently selected Program Phase number. All function and pumping rate
data will now refer to the currently selected Program Phase number.
If the maximum Program Phase number, 40, is exceeded while changing the Phase number, the displayed
Phase number will automatically be set to the maximum Program Phase number.
11.2 Pumping Program Edit Functions
When developing or updating a large Pumping Program, occasionally one or more Program Phases needs
to be added or removed from the Pumping Program. Having to re-enter the entire Program could certainly
be a tedious task.
Two Program entry functions are available to simplify the Program development process. These are the
‘Insert’ and ‘Delete’ functions. They allow a Program Phase to be removed from any point in the
Pumping Program or a Phase to be inserted at any point.
To access these functions, enter “Program Entry Mode” to display the Program Phase number [PH:nn].
Select the Program Phase number that is to be deleted or the Phase number where a new Phase is to be
inserted in the Pumping Program.
For example, if a Phase is to be inserted between Phases 24 and 25, select Phase 25. The inserted Phase
will be at Phase 25, and all the Phases starting with the old Phase 25 will be shifted one Phase higher.
