Q
Timed
Timed Charge C The electrical charge delivered during the timer
interval.
Q
Timed_Predicted
Predicted
Timed Charge C The total amount of timed charge that should be
accumulated at the completion of the timer
interval, based on the observed delivery rate.
Leakage Measurements
Leakage measurements (Q
Offset,
I
Leakage
and T
Offset
) are only applicable when automatic leakage
compensation is enabled.
Timed Charge and Dose
This measurement accumulates charge only while the elapsed time is less than or equal to the timer
interval setting. The displayed value is held following the completion of the timer interval.

following the activation of the timer. Q

corresponds to
the interpolated charge at time T

+ Timer Interval Setting).
Predicted Timed Charge and Dose
This measurement extrapolates the timed charge (Q
Timed
) at the elapsed time (T
Elapsed
) that should be
accumulated at completion of the timer interval (i.e., TimerIntervalSetting) based on the rate of charge
delivery.

At the conclusion of the timer interval (i.e., T

equals the TimerIntervalSetting), the predicted timed
charge and dose are equal to the predicted timed charge and dose, respectively.
