■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5 Method Specification of volume and dosing time You define the volume and the time in which this volume is to be dosed (particularly suitable for synthesis applications).

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5.6 Commands Note This formula applies only for using a single dosing device. The dosing rate is equal to the flow rate in the case of tandem dosing.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5 Method Filling times Filling times are not included in the calculation of the dosing rate.
