Apex programming question
« on: November 22, 2019, 19:55:06 »
Right now I’m using a BRS 1.1mL doser hooked up to the apex. I have it programmed in fusion under advanced. The line is....
If time 8:00 to 8:01 then on

My question is, can you program the doser for less than the 2 minute minimum, by using seconds?

Like this....
If time 08:00:00 to 8:00:30 then on

Is this possible?

I use that Osc function as long as the numbers add up to 1 hour you are good.   I use the Osc function on my gyre were it is on for only 5 seconds every hour to allow air to escape and keep the noise down.   Google reeftronics they have a dosing calculator but more importantly a cut and paste program template.

Can you give me a rundown of what that code means?

000:00 means it starts on the hour
001:30 means it runs for 90 seconds.
058:30 is when it shuts off.
Almost like a countdown.
