    Smile Apex programmer's please do this for the next update

    Ok, so this is for the programmers who do all the updates. I recently bought 2 DOS's. They seem to work great! My one problem I have encountered is that I cannot make a single one time bolus dose of any addiditve. For example, when I first set up my two part dosing system I was not able to make a one time correction and add a say 20ml of each additive to get my tank into parameters. Instead I had to program a reoccuring dose to occur in the next minute or two then once the dosing was completed I had to go back into the program and delete it. I find this is really annoying in the first few days when I am trying to get the dosing parameters in check as this adds on around 15-30 minutes every day of my trying to make a singe dose adjustment. Same thing goes for my magnesium additive I add occasionally. The buttons are great but I cannot see acuratly how much I am adding at one given time. The system cannot give me live feedback and I have to wait a few minutes for an update on how much I dosed when I pushed the button. I really hope you guys are able to make this a reality. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    You actually can do that, it's just not a very obvious solution.

    Set your DOS to dose over 23 hours instead of 24. We'll use 00:00 to 22:59 for this example.


    Create a VO I call it XtraDOS

    XtraDOS
    Set OFF
    If Time 23:00 to 23:59 Then ON
    When On > 059:59 Then OFF


    Define a DOS profile that will dose your desired extra amount over 1 hour.


    In the advanced window of the DOS, add the line


    If Output XtraDOS = ON Then profilename



    Just set the outlet to AUTO when you want an extra dose. It will deliver it at 11pm (you could adjust the time) and then automatically go back to manual OFF after delivering it.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
