Is there a way to Setup a way to tell my DOS to dose XXml right now and not on a schedule?
 
A custom amount that changes each time is very difficult. If the amounts are more consistent, I do that for priming and stuff on mine.

The way you do that is set up a profile of type DOSE with the amount you want, speed I usually set 250ml/min so it happens fast and interval set to 1. Let's call this primeDOS as an example

Create a virtual outlet with the following code. Change MMM:SS to an value longer than the dose would take (ex larger than 2 minutes for a 500ml dose). I'm calling this prime.

Set ON
When ON > MMM:SS Then ON


In the advanced tab of the DOS programming add

If Output prime = ON Then PrimeDOS
 
Interesting. So I need to dose like 1-5ml So I would set up the dos speed super low right?. Then if I wanted to dose I would just do if its 1ml/5sec just do

Set ON
When ON >000:10 Then ON

that would give me 2ml?

Realistically I should just manually dose this since its Nitrates and Phosphates lol
 
For that size dose you probably want to set the profile for the 25ml/min speed, and set the virtual outlet to like 15 seconds.

If you need an amount other than 2ml, you can just adjust the profile right before you dose.

Trigger by setting the VO to AUTO.
