Multiple pumps can be daisy chained together and controlled via a single IOC. Each pump has an address which can be set using the ID:SP record. By default (and in a single pump configuration) this is 00.
The device has it's own logic for setting the units of volume to be pumped VOLUME:UNITS based on the diameter of the syringe installed in the pump DIAMETER. In testing it was found that: Diameter <= 14.00mm - uL, Diameter > 14.00mm = mL. A small warning about this has been placed on the OPI to inform users.
The units for the rate can be selected but will only be set when setting the RATE:SP. You can resend the same set point to set newly selected rate units.
