syringe_diameter¶

Example: 15.0

Syringe diameter (millimeters)

flow_rate¶

Example: 5

Pumping rate (units given by rate_unit)

variable¶

Variable from which to read the volume to dispense. Assigning a nonzero value to the variable causes MWorks to prepare the pump’s onboard dispensing program (updating rate, volume, and direction as needed). If the pump network is enabled, pumping will then begin.
