This gives the benefit of tailoring the pump functionality to a customer application and
allows the pump to be operated using a simple parallel interface system.
To configure the pump, either use a customer simple serial system via the serial link, or
use the Edwards TIC Turbo Controller, TIC Turbo Instrument Controller or TAG Controller.
The TICs have a feature which allows storage of a nEXT pump’s configuration. The
configuration can then be downloaded to another nEXT pump. This is useful when
configuring a number of nEXT pumps with the same settings before they are fitted to a
system.
The USB service port can also be used in conjunction with the Edwards nST2 PC software
to configure the nEXT pump. The configuration can then be downloaded to another
nEXT pump, in the same way as it can with a TIC, which is useful when configuring a
number of nEXT pumps.
