Momentary Press:
A quick press, less than 1 second, and then release of a key on the keypad.
Display Blink:
A momentary blanking of the LCD display. This indicates that the new data 
entered by the user is valid and has been stored. 
Program Entry 
Mode: 
The mode where the Program Phase and Program function are selected and 
modified. In this mode the ‘Program Phase #’ and the ‘Program Function’ modes 
of the ‘Rate’ and ‘Volume’ keys are relevant. 
Pumping Program:
The sequence of automated operations entered into the pump. This could be as 
simple as a single function to pump at a single infusion rate continuously. 
Pumping Program 
Operating: 
When the pump is started with the ‘Start’/’Stop’ key, or any other source, the 
pump begins performing the operations in the Pumping Program until the 
Pumping Program ends or the pump is stopped with the ‘Start/Stop’ key, or any 
other source. While performing the operations defined in the Pumping Program, 
the Pumping Program is referred to as Operating. 
While Operating, the motor can be pumping or stopped, according to the Pumping 
Program. 
Pumping Program 
Stopped: 
The motor is stopped and the pump is not operating the Pumping Program.
Pumping Program 
Paused: 
The Pumping Program has been stopped, but can be resumed at the point where it 
was stopped. 
Pumping Program 
Resumed: 
Continuing a Pumping Program that was Paused before the completion of the 
Pumping Program. The Pumping Program continues at the point where the 
Pumping Program was stopped. 
Executed:
The pump has performed a single operational Phase as defined in the Pumping 
Program. 
Program Phase:
A single defined operation in the Pumping Program.
Phase Number:
A Program Phase’s numerical sequence location in the Pumping Program.
Currently Selected 
Function: 
Each Pumping Program Phase instructs the pump to perform a particular 
operation. Only one Program Phase is selected at any one time. This is the current 
Phase. Each Phase is set to one function. The set function of the current Phase is 
the currently selected function. 
Pumping Rate 
Function: 
Each Pumping Program function instructs the pump to perform a particular 
operation. If the Phase’s operation instructs the system to pump, then associated 
with that Phase is the Phases’ pumping information. When ‘Program Entry 
Mode’ is exited, the ‘Rate’, ‘Volume’, and pumping direction keys refer to the 
currently selected Program Phase’s function. The Program functions that are 
associated with pumping information are referred to as Pumping Rate functions. 
Function 
Parameter: 
Certain functions, which do not instruct the system to pump, require additional data. 
This additional data, displayed with the function, is the function’s parameter. 
Start Trigger:
The Pumping Program may be started, or stopped, from multiple sources. These 
are the keypad’s ‘Start’/’Stop’ key, the TTL I/O ‘Operational Trigger’ input, or 
from a command received through the RS-232 connection.
