et Point
This command is used to set the inlet flow control set point which represents 0.6
L/min aerosol flow for the flow control system. When issued with a parameter, this
command uses that parameter as a control point with which to control pump. The
differential orifice pressure is compared to the control point and adjustments are
made to the pump drive to maintain a match between the two. The actual control
point is compensated by the current value of the Absolute Pressure sensor to
compensate for inlet pressure.
Command:
SFS,xxxx
Command to set flow control set point
x = 0 to 4095
Response:

ero
This command is used to set the flow control zero value. When issued with a
parameter, this command uses that parameter as the zero value for the flow system.
When issued without a parameter, the command echoes the current flow zero value.
The flow zero value is normally set using the SZ command, so this command is
seldom needed to actually set the flow zero point value.
Command:
SFZ,xxx
Command to set flow zero set point
xxx = 1 to 350
Response:
OK
Example:
SFZ,164
Command to set current flow zero value
OK
