5.2.2. Runtime execution information
Whenever a set of methods is being executed on a group of pumps,
Adagio will manage the communications to:
• Send the appropriate commands to each pump depending on its
model.
• Set the real flow to each pump depending on the step sequence of
the associated method (see 4.2.4).
• Detect the special conditions (stalling, errors, etc.) of each pump.
• Determine the current flow of each pump.
The following information related to the execution control task is
automatically updated by Adagio:
• Current flow: matches the real flow value infused / withdrawn by the
pump at that time (which could not match with the “expected flow” set
within the Method Editor –see 4.2.4.12. ). The current flow will be
updated on the screen every 500 msecs.
• Elapsed time: is updated every second to show the time lapsed from
the beginning of the method execution (discarding the time that the
method had been paused).
• Progress: is updated as [Elapsed time] changes to show the
percentage (in a visual form) of the method’s duration that has been
executed. The percentage is calculated as the quotient between
[Elapsed time] and [Duration].
• Status: When special situations arise, a text is shown to identify
them:
o “Paused”: the method is manually paused (see 5.2.1).
o “Stalled”: the pump is stalled and thus the method is paused
by Adagio.
o “Comm error”: an error on the communications channel has
been detected.
o “Error”: an unknown error on the system has been detected.
