Figure 14: MicroLYNX-4 commands, part A
Command Description
ACCL=n Peak acceleration value, µL/sec 2
ACLT=n Acceleration type
DCLT=n Deceleration type
DECL=n Peak deceleration rate, µL/sec 2
SLEW n,m Slew the motor at a constant velocity, m=0 use acceleration ramp, m=1
do not use acceleration ramp, velocity in µL/sec
SSTP m Stop the current motion, m=0 stop motion only, m=1 stop motion and
program, m omitted is the same as m=0
VI=n Initial pump velocity, µL
VM=n Maximum velocity of pump during a pump action, µL/sec
MOVA n,m Move to an absolute pump position, n is position in µL, sign of n indicated
direction, m=0 with deceleration, m=1 no deceleration, m=0 if omitted
MOVR n,m Dispense/aspirate, n is volume in µL, sign of n indicates direction,
m=0 with deceleration, m=1 no deceleration, m=0 if omitted
MVG Flag that indicates whether the pump is moving, TRUE=moving,
FALSE=stopped. Use the PRINT command to see the present value.
POS=n Register that contains the present pump position in µL
MAC=n Motor acceleration current used when the pump is accelerating, n=% of 4A

The Terminal (MicroLYNX) programming mode is for advanced control of
the M Series Pump, allowing the user to alter the factory default settings for
various parameters. While this may be useful in certain research applica-
tions, the main use is for OEM (original equipment manufacturer) custom-
ers.
Figures 13 and 14 show the various control settings used for special-
ized applications, as well as the default settings.
On the main menu, choose Utility > Terminal, as in Figure 13. To change
any of the parameters, enter the commands in Figures 14 and 15.
NOTE: Commands highlighted in bold are the most commonly
used commands. Commands in gray also impact the system’s
use, and can be issued from a terminal emulation program such
as Windows Terminal.
