    Adjusting DOS dosing rate

    Hi Folks,

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for changing the minimum dosing rate of the DOS?

    Currently I'm dosing 9.5ml per head/24 hours. However I would like to increase the minimum amount dosed each time by reducing the number of doses given in the 24 hours.

    Thanks

    Rob

    You can do smaller time frames with the amount you want dosed at the time you want dosed that are 1 minute in length.

    Thanks - I'm aware I can reduce the time frame, but I'd really like the same amount dosed over a 24 hour period, but with fewer doses, each of a larger amount.

    And what I mentioned is how you do it. The wizard sets the dos to deliver the amount in as spread out as possible. The algorithm is not user configurable. The way to trick it is to use multiple small doses of the desired amount. Say you want 2ml at a time, make five 1 min intervals of which 4 are set for 2 mL and 1 is set for 1.5mL

    Ok, so setting up manually, x no of doses through the day if I’m understanding correctly?

    Seems like a work around, but not ideal. Making the dosing wizard with configurable perameters such as minimum dosing amount would be ideal. I feel a feature request coming...

    thanks for your help

    Exactly. I doubt they will add config options for the dosing since 99.9% of people want it to go as slow as possible over their timespan, but you can always request it in the "what I wish was different about apex fusion" and see what happens.
