Flow HYPLEX - Pump Adjustment Routines

HyPlex Prime pump temperature input
offset adjustment routine
This routine applies to the Plus and Premium packages.
This software routine must be run each time the pump is
started at the beginning of a shift, and any time a
high-pressure pump component is replaced.
The routine reads the temperature inputs from the three
thermistors and calculates the relative value of each to
the lowest among the three. These relative values are
used in the calculation for continuous monitoring of the
cylinder temperature when the pump is running.
1. Make sure the pump is at room temperature. This is
important to get a uniform reading from each of the
thermistors.
2. Start FlowCUT, open a part file, and
go to the Run Machine screen.
