Change the cassette type setting
The Peri-pump Cassette Type setting must be correct.
Note: Internal and External Peri-pump Dispensers: When the MultiFlo FX has an internal
or built-in peristaltic pump it is called the Primary Peri-pump and an external pump is
called the Secondary Peri-pump. When an instrument has only one pump, either internal
or external, it is called Primary.

Tip: You may want to employ the Cassette Requirement Mode feature (as described
on page 158) to automatically update the instrument's Cassette Type setting when you run
a protocol. For advanced users with well organized procedures, the MultiFlo FX provides the
ability to change the cassette type setting on-the-fly. It uses the "Require a specific
cassette" parameter in a Peri-pump step to automatically change the cassette type setting
if it does not match the required cassette.
