Specifying the syringe being used in a pump

In brief

In order to function, a syringe pump needs to be told the inner diameter of the syringe installed in it. ANY-maze includes an extensive library of syringes and so you just need to use the drop-down lists on the syringe pump's settings page to choose the syringe you're using and the system will set the inner diameter appropriately.

Details

ANY-maze includes a library of over 120 syringes from the major manufacturers, so in most cases you will simply need to select the syringe series and volume, and ANY-maze will automatically set the inner diameter.

However, if the syringe you're using is not listed, then you can select the option to Specify syringe diameter manually (it's the last option in the syringe type drop-down list) and then enter the inner diameter, in millimetres, into the appropriate field.

Limits

The inner diameter field accepts any values from 0.01mm to 50.0mm, inclusive.
