23. VALVE:OPEN:<Rising>,<OpenTime>,<Falling>,<NeedleLift>,<NumberofPulses>,<Delay>
 Description: Thiscommandinitiatesadispensingcyclewiththeparametercombination
currentlyselected. Ramp parameters (i.e.valuesrelating to time) haveto
be specified in 1/10 ms, except for “Falling“ which has to be entered in
1/100ms. Specified values must be integer and positive. If the External
Modeis
desired,insteadofanumericalvalueenter“EXTERNAL”for“Open
Time”.
Itisimportanttoknowthatparameterspreviouslyenteredby
“TRIGGER:SET“arenoterased.
Ontheotherhand,thevaluesenteredby“VALVE:OPEN:<Rising>,<Open
Time>,<Falling>,<NeedleLift>,<NumberofPulses>,<Delay>”arevalidonly
untiltheendofthedispensingcycle.Ifthecombination
isintendedtobe
usedseveraltimes,thecompletecommandhastoberepeatedatthebe‐
ginningofeachsinglecycle.Insuchasituation,itwouldbemorepractical
tousethe“TRIGGER:SET“commandinstead,sincethecycleinthiscase
canbereactivatedsimplyby“VALVE:OPEN“,as
desired.
