harvard_apparatus_pump_matlab
Control of Harvard Apparatus pumps using Matlab.
Currently only pumps that use the 'Model 44' protocol are supported. In particular this code has only been tested with a 'PHD 2000 Programmable' pump. I have not yet built-in support for complicated sequences to be run on the pump. I also have not yet built in support for controlling multiple pumps on the same serial connection.
Usage
The following assumes you've followed the setup directions found here.
Additionally, you must add the repository folder to your path. Don't add the package folder ('+harvard') or any other sub-folders to your path.
p = harvard.pump.model_44('COM4');
p.setPumpDirection('infuse');
p.setPumpMode('pump');
p.setInfuseRate(1,'ml/min');
p.start();
for i = 1:10
pause(1)
pumped_volume = p.volume_delivered_ml;
fprintf('Volume Pumped: %g (ml)\n',pumped_volume);
end
p.stop();
Dependencies
This code currently relies on Jim's Matlab Standard Library - https://github.com/JimHokanson/matlab_standard_library
I intend to remove this dependency at some point ...
