AutoMixer Version 1.0.12 - Changelog

Version 1.0.12 of the AutoMixer app is finally here! What changes and bug fixes are included in this long-awaited version? Read below to discover everything in store in this feature packed update.

• Resolved an issue that would start a newly created mixing operation before the user pressed the "start" button if the level sensor state was changed from OFF->ON->OFF
• User is no longer able to select an uncalibrated product, preventing the "ZeroDivisionError" which was common with a single uncalibrated product (like the default Water product) in the product list.
• Solves a niche issue which would throw a "Cannot Iterate" error if the user attempted to start a mixing operation without any created products.
• Fixed an issue that would cause the last direction used in the "pump control" menu to be the rotation direction for a subsequent calibration or operation task.
• Prevents the user from inputting non-numerical entries for purely numerical variables.
• User must now pause an operation to update the "Total Mixed Limit," preventing an issue where the operation could crash if the total mixed limit was completely removed
• Restored functionality to the "batch action" section of pump control

Features

Pump Control:

Summary: The pump control menu brings increased awareness of pump RPM limits while allowing for the user to set max RPM settings as they wish.

• Default Max RPM limits have been updated:
  • Pump 1: 275 RPM
  • Pump 2: 275 RPM
  • Pump 3: 300 RPM
  • Pump 4: 300 RPM
  • Pump 5: 300RPM
• Max RPM values now impact step 3 of calibration
• When Max RPM is set higher than the default, the following warning will be displayed.
  
  • YES: The "current setting" which was most recently input will remain in the input box.
  • CANCEL: The value in the input box will be reset to the "safe limit."

• Max RPM text color will change and a red exclamation mark will appear when above recommended limits
  • Text will change to yellow when less than 25% over the limit
  • 
  • Text will change to red when greater than or equal to 25% over the limit
  • 
• When any "Max RPM" dialog is above recommended, the user will once again be reminded of the overage upon saving

• Finally, the "Reset Max RPM" button will quickly revert Max RPM values to their defaults

Products and Calibration:

• The last step of calibration is no longer performed at 300 RPM but instead is performed at the "Max RPM" set in the Pump Control menu

• Third step RPM is now saved with calibration data. When editing manually, this saved RPM value will only change if the corresponding "Max RPM" value has changed AND you have edited the step 3 flow rate.

AutoMixer Setup:

• Flow rate maximization:
  • Upon entering the AutoMixer setup page, flow rates are automatically maximized for the current prescription. Maximum flow rate is shown in the new slider when fully to the right

• • Maximum flow rate is updated anytime a new product is entered, or the application or product rate(s) change
  • "Total Flow Rate" can still be changed manually above the maximum, and the AutoMixer will display a warning for products whose flow rate is above the maximum for that pump

• • When the product rate is set high enough that the carrier product rate becomes less than zero, the following warning message is displayed and the product rate is reset to zero

• • None of the flow rate fields are editable, they are shown for informative purposes only
  • 

Mixing Operation:

• The START/PAUSE button now shows Pause/Resume after the button has been pressed for the first time (after the operation has been started)

Main Menu:

• The settings button has been moved to the bottom right of the main menu and has been replaced with a restart button. Pressing once will prompt the user if they wish to restart, and pressing "YES" will restart the AutoMixer's computer

Warnings:

• Any changes made to a step 3 (MAX RPM oz/min) field will use the value set in pump control for MAX_RPM. Any products you are carrying over from 1.0.11 will default to a MAX_RPM calibration step of 300 RPM. However, since this version changes the default MAX_RPM to 275, any changes to the last calibration data point will assume a MAX_RPM as set in the pump control menu, meaning any changes made immediately after updating may cause you calibration to be incorrect.
• It is now possible for your step3 calibration RPM to be lower than that of step 2 (still hard-coded at 150 RPM). Keeping this in mind, you will achieve the best accuracy if the Max RPM is as close to the default value as possible.
