In addition to the standard pump commands (see Commands for Controlling Dionex Devices  Dionex Pumps), the following commands and properties are available (please note that the display Filter level determines which commands and properties are displayed):

 

Property

(Min/Max) Values

Description

ModelNo

N/A

Indicates the model number of the pump (read-only)

Firmware Version

x.xx

Indicates the pump's firmware version (read-only)

ChartOut (321 only)

Possible values: Pressure, Flow, Percentage %A, %B

Determines the property to be monitored via the digital output (pin no. 9).

 

 

 

Pump Properties

 

 

 

%A_RefillTime, %B_RefillTime

125 –1000 ms

Determines how long the piston takes to return to its initial state. Enter a higher value in case of cavitation.

%A_LiquidCompr

%B_LiquidCompr

0 – 2000 1/Mbar

Determines the solvent compressibility.

 

 

 

Prime Commands

 

 

 

StartPriming

PumpHead parameter (possible values: RightHead, LeftHead)

Starts a priming sequence for the specified pump head.

Note: After performing the StartPriming command, no other command or property is allowed until the StopPriming command was performed.

StopPriming

-

Finishes a running priming sequence.
