Flow-rate control
When a FLOW UNIT is connected, press the left button "Set Q
Ctrl" to switch to the flow rate control mode.
The user can directly control the flow rate, by setting the flow rate
command (Qcmd)
Although the control mode is in flow rate, the live pressure section
value in the reservoir (Pmeas) is still displayed in the middle, giving
information on the fluidic set-up. Abnormal flow rates may reflect
problems in the microfluidic set-up (leakage, clogging, etc.)

For control using the OxyGEN software a Link module must be
added to the setup:
The link module is a module which allows communication between
