    HELP with New DOS Pumps

    I bought a DOS to automatically dose Fusion 1 and 2. I followed the startup guide and calibrated the pumps. I then went through steps in setting up each pump..asking me for amount/day (which is 10ml of each for my 125g. I chose Start at 00:00 and end as 23:59 for Fusion#1/Alk and since supposed to dose Fusion #2/Cal a few minutes later I chose 00:30 for start and 00:29 for end.

    How much is it going to dose and how often with this small amount f setting...or does it turn really slow for 23:599 hours?

    I guess it would better/ideal if it Alk dosed 1ml every hour (on the hour) for 10 hours and Cal dosed 1ml every hour (at 15 mark)...where/how can I do that?

    Here is what code is now and does not look right

    ALK
    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,1,21,0,1,3,72,100,0,1,9,36,14,0

    CAL
    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,1,21,0,1,3,72,2,0,1,0,60,14,0
    tdata 00:30:00,1,21,0,1,3,72,98,0,1,8,172,14,0

    Set Fusion 1 to start dosing at 00:00. You can set Fusion 2 to start dosing at 00:10, a ten minute offset, although it's still a good idea to dispense the two components in different locations. End the interval for both of them at 23:59; that is, the entire day. Enter the entire amount you want to give in 24 hours, and the system will calculate the dosage and time between dosages for each. If you want to know exactly what it's doing, go to the DOS setup page and in the Wizard View, click on the orange gear at the lower left, and select Interval Summary.

    If you want to program specific doses, you have to set each one up individually on the Wizard View graph. A short dose interval dispensing 1 ml at 9 AM, another at 10 AM, and so on. I've never done this myself because for the most part I prefer the many very small doses that the DOS calculates if you give it the entire day to work with.
