Build stepwise syringe pump programs for New Era NE-series pumps. Define syringe diameter, infusion/withdrawal steps, pauses, and loops. Export validated .PPL program files ready to load onto the pump.

When to use
Do not use for
Rate limits scale with the square of syringe diameter. A BD 1 mL syringe (4.7 mm) has ~32x less max flow than a BD 60 mL (26.6 mm).
Switching between infuse and withdraw without a brief pause can damage the pump or cause pressure transients in your setup.
In PPL, the LPS value is 1-based. The tool handles this conversion, but verify the preview before loading onto the pump.
PPL uses volume-based phases, not duration. The duration shown in the timeline is calculated from rate and volume.
Rate limits calculated from NE-1000 linear travel specs (0.73 µm/min min, 2120 mm/min max) and syringe cross-sectional area. PPL output follows New Era firmware format specification.
