ABSTRACT:
A peristaltic pump controller which provides control of a positive displacement pump as either an uncalibrated or calibrated flowmeter, or a calibrated dispenser. A calibration constant is calculated, after the pump is primed, to determine the amount of volume output produced by an increment of angular rotation of the pump. The constant is determined during a calibration operation where an arbitrary calibration volume is metered. The controller has a low flow and high flow mode where the low flow mode provides a higher resolution for dispensing. The flow mode of operation is determined by the value of the calibration constant and is automatically set when the constant is calculated. During a dispensing operation, the controller will meter fluid to within a predetermined amount of the final volume dependent upon the speed of the pump motor and then dribble in the remaining amount of a batch for precision.
