Setting a syringe pump's target volume

In brief

You can use the Target volume field on the syringe pump's settings page to specify the volume you would like the pump to infuse or withdraw. After the pump starts, ANY-maze will stop it automatically when this volume is reached.

If you don't want to set a target volume, then leave this field blank - once started, the pump will continue to run until explicitly stopped by a procedure or it stalls (reaches the limit of its travel).

Details

If you do enter a target volume then you need to enter the volume and then select the units from the drop-down list to the right of the field.

Note that the target volume can be changed during a test using a procedure.

If you select a target volume which would be dispensed extremely quickly (based on the selected flow rate), then ANY-maze will ask you to confirm that your entry is correct.
