NE-1000X 8 www.SyringePump.com
Dual Pump Gradient Pumping Mode
Maintains a constant total flow rate between 2 syringe pumps. A gradient (linear function)
dispensing function is programmed into the Master pump. The secondary pump will be
automatically programmed with the inverse of the Master pump’s gradient function. The sum
of the two pump’s flow rates will be a constant.
Requirement :
1) 2 Pumps from the NE-1000 syringe pump family with ‘X firmware upgrades.
2) CBL-DUAL-3 dual pump communications cable.
Quick Setup:
(On the Master pump only – DO NOT change default settings on the second pump)
1) Attach the communications cable, CBL-DUAL-3, to the “To Computer” port on the back of both
pumps.
2) Select the default Gradient Mode pumping program:

- Use any up-arrow key to select Gradient Mode, displayed as “Grad”.
- Press the “Volume” key to select, or wait for the time out.
3) Set the syringe diameter on the Master pump. Both pumps will use the same diameter.
(Default program assumes at least a 14.43 mm diameter).
4) Press “Start” on the Master pump to start the dual pump Gradient pumping program.
Setup:
(On the Master pump only – DO NOT change default settings on the second pump)
