Syringe pump measures

ANY-maze has been designed to be extended, and we'll be delighted to add any new measures you might find useful, for free! Just contact ANY-maze Support.

ANY-maze will score the following measures for a syringe pump:

 Volume infused 
 Volume withdrawn  

  

  

Volume infused

DescriptionThe total volume infused by the syringe pump.
Calculation methodThe sum of the amounts infused each time the pump was run in the infuse direction during the test. The amount infused is calculated by multiplying the infusion rate by the amount of time the pump was running.
Analysis in zonesThe volume infused while the animal was in the zone.
Analysis across timeThis measure can be analysed across time. The result for a time period is the total volume infused during the time period.
UnitsMicrolitres
NotesNone.

  

  

Volume withdrawn

DescriptionThe total volume withdrawn by the syringe pump.
Calculation methodThe sum of the amounts withdrawn each time the pump was run in the withdraw direction during the test. The amount withdrawn is calculated by multiplying the withdrawal rate by the amount of time the pump was running.
Analysis in zonesThe volume withdrawn while the animal was in the zone.
Analysis across timeThis measure can be analysed across time. The result for a time period is the total volume withdrawn during the time period.
UnitsMicrolitres
NotesNot all syringe pumps can be run in the withdraw direction. For those that can't, the result of this measure will always be zero.
