 LabWrench Question of the Week

Ask a Question

Pump Not Responding
Posted by: polywogs16
Message: We recently restarted our computer and, upon re-opening the control software, we are having issues with updating the settings for our pump. When we try to increase our pump flow from 0.1 mL/min to 0.3 mL/min we receive an error message in response to the update command that says it failed saving the update. We are able to stop the pump and set it to go but cannot increase the pump flow. Any help is greatly appreciated. [Regarding Varian PL-GPC 50 Plus]
