How do I get a laboratory pump to do ….
Your questions answered here.
MyLabVIEW logo A lot of pumping applications use Matlab or ?abview as the control software. Why write ?abview? When I mean L abview? Because they (>abview wrote to me and told me not to use their L ?abview trademark. I hope that's not true but perhaps consider this mentality when choosing tools [...]
Does SyringePumpPro do gradient flows? Does SyringePumpPro do dependent gradient flows? Gradient flows. gradient flows are not made by SyringePumpPro. They are made by the user programming the pump and then uploading those programs to the pumps. The uploading is achieved by using SyringePumpPro and my software shows what the pumps are doing whilst [...]
What is a Trigger? A trigger is something usually an electrical signal that is used to get a pump to change it's pumping action. Simplest example is the use of a foot switch on a manual production line. For example an ink cartridge re-filler. They pick up a print cartridge for filling, insert the filling [...]
PPL File Sets A file set consists of a file for each pump and a master ppl file. Multiple pump file sets Continuing with the example, you would have a ppl file for each pump and for each recipe. If you had 6 recipes and 3 pumps, you would have 18 ppl files [...]
Good/Bad - Um? Depends what your looking for. I'd prefer simple sync and complex sync. The master ppl file setup - I love. Each pump's code is a separate file - that's great programming technique. Makes it easy to test each ppl file separately. Multiple pump file sets Syncing - Simple syncing is [...]
In the beginning, manually programming your pump and getting started writing pump programs is a challenge! The initial learning curve is high. So much to learn. There's plenty to learn about the programming language and how the pump operates. You just want to start getting results - now! I can help you! Pump [...]
Do you need to monitor the pressure in the syringe? Do you need to regulate the pressure? I am currently considering adding pressure monitoring and regulation to SyringePumpPro. I would be delighted to hear about your application's requirements. This would be achieved through the use of a load cell. I have already had interest from [...]
If you are new to pumps and pump programming and would like an introduction to the process, this video is for you. You will learn - How to read and write pump programs How to use the pump programming spreadsheet. How to manually enter a pump program using the front panel buttons on the pump. [...]
Here we play while the rest of the world sleeps, or so it seems. When I get up in the morning the second thing I do is read my email. First thing? This is when I get customers and potential customers asking questions. Questions about applications and problems. One of today's potential customers had [...]
Programmable syringe pumps have a limited number of program steps. Basically they only have so much on board memory available. What are some techniques for growing past this limit? Sometimes your pump program grows and then grows and then grows and suddenly 41 steps becomes a limitation. This limitation is like colliding with a brick [...]
