Harvard Apparatus syringe pumps

Introduction

ANY-maze can control the following Harvard Apparatus pumps:

 Harvard 11 Plus 
 Harvard 11 Pico Plus 
 Harvard 11 Elite 
 Harvard 11 Pico Plus Elite 
 Harvard 22 (infuse only) 
 Harvard 22 
 Harvard PHD 2000 (infuse only) 
 Harvard PHD 2000 
 Harvard PHD 2000 HPSI 
 Harvard PHD Ultra (infuse only) 
 Harvard PHD Ultra 
 Harvard PHD Ultra 4400  

Details

Full details of the Harvard Apparatus pumps can found on the Harvard web site - http://www.harvardapparatus.com

In order to use any Harvard pump with ANY-maze, you must first set the baud rate for the RS232 communications. The baud rate is the speed at which data is transmitted, and both the pump and the PC must use the same rate for communication to be successful. The steps required to set the baud rate are described in each pump's manual. ANY-maze uses the following baud rates:

 Harvard 11 Elite pump family - 57600 baud 
 Harvard 11 and 22 pump families (except Elite) - 9600 baud 
 Harvard PHD 2000 family - 19200 baud 
 Harvard PHD Ultra family - 57600 baud  

The PHD 2000 family also requires that the command protocol is set. The pumps support two protocols called 'Model 22' and 'Model 44'; ANY-maze uses the 'Model 22' protocol. The steps required to set the command protocol are described in the pump's manual.

Once the baud rate and (if necessary) command protocol are set, then you just need to connect the pump to your PC and tell ANY-maze where it is connected - this is described in detail in the Using syringe pumps with ANY-maze topic. This same topic also goes on to describe how you can then use ANY-maze to control the pump.
