    1st Tunze/Apex Progamming - 6105

    About to program my first Tunze 6105 with Apex. Anyone want to give me some tips? or point me to a thread they would recommend?
    So far...just to test it...I created...
    1. 2 profiles
    ** L_morning (PF1)
    L_Morning Profile.PNG
    ** L_Afternoon (PF2)
    L_Afternoon Profile.PNG

    ** If I put the Min 0 and Max 30, will it try and ramp up to 30? Or will it just oscillate between 0 and 30?

    2. Outlet
    ** VarSpd1-(base_Var1)

    Again, I am just trying to see how it works.
    Would the above work?
    Anything that stands out? ( i know I need to finish the time)

    Thanks

    The pump type is a quick transition from min to max and does not ramp. What you have is fine to start and get your feet wet. If you want more turbulence, the trick is to use VOs such as below with kind of random times in the OSC statements and overlap them in the code.

    Ex

    OSC 000:00/005:21/034:10 Then ON
    If Output Lights = ON Then OFF


    OSC 000:00/011:25/030:11 Then ON
    If Output Lights = ON Then OFF


    Then you use those VOs to trigger different profiles to mix the flow up and vary the times in the OSC statements depending on how often you want a certain range of intensities to be active for (ie high intensity bursts should be short and not occur terribly often, gentle changes can happen longer and more often).

    There's no reason to enable Divide by 10 and then use times like 50 & 80. Uncheck Divide by 10 and use 5, 8, etc. Typically, the Divide by 10 option is used to get sub-second times like 0.5s
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
