    dosing estimated index freshwater - How to skip a day

    I am totally new to this and have zero experiences with programming. Basically this is what I want. I have a DOS and the left side doses my macros, the right side my micros. I want Monday/Wednesday/Friday to dose macros, Tuesday/Thursday and Saturday Micros. Sunday is a day off for both pumps.

    How do I achieve this?

    Thanks!

    To specify, I want to dose 15ml within 10 minutes every time the pumps go off.
    Left pump: 15ml each Monday/Wed/Fri
    Right pump:15ml each Tue/Thu/Sat
    Sunday off.

    Please explain in clearer detail. I do not understand what you are asking for by “every time the pumps go off”.

    You can use the If DoW (day of week) conditional statement to prevent an output from turning ON on specified days. Example:

    (Other programming)
    If DoW -M-WT-S Then OFF

    This will keep the output off on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

    Create your dosing schedule using the DOS wizard, then click on the gear button in the upper right. Select the Advanced tab and add the desired If DoW statement in the Advanced tab.

    Ok I'll explain in detail:

    Left pump doses Monday, Wednesday and Friday 15ml on each day at 10am for 10 minutes. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday it doesn't dose anything.
    Would this be correct?
    If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF

    Right pump doses Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 15ml on each dat at 10 am for 10 minutes. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday it doesn't dose anything
    If DoW SM-W-F- Then OFF

    Thanks for the help. This goes way above my head. I figured it would be super simple to set the timers for this when I bought the module.
