Does there happen to be a log file (xml like the rest) of the DOS's activity (volume dispensed/removed?)

If I remember correctly, there's no log for how much it dosed. It just logs that a dose was made at a time, and the associated volume. And that's only if you're doing manual dosing. I don't think it works with Trident controlled dosing.

In either case, you'd need to figure out a way to do the summation.

Gotcha, yeah the outlog xml shows when it goes into TBL mode, but no volumes in there....

Im trying to come up with a way to determine how much each head dispenses for my AWC programmatically (like on a daily data collection),.. so ill know when it's time to change the heads or fully replace the DOS eventually

In my next tank, I want to explore using 1/4" flow sensors for this.

Yeah I have read the gph on the dos is too low for the apex flow sensor. Needs to be a minimum of 3gph

some sort of drip sensor almost is needed with a inline little chamber for it to count the drips
