I can not seem to find how to configure outputs. Any help would be great.Have you ever wish to have more control on when Trident do its tests? It's not obvious from Fusion UI, but it's actually possible.
Trident is simply controlled as couple outputs like other Apex output. It's only a matter of finding those output, then you can program it however you like the same as programming a light. These need to be done on a browser, not in the phone app.
First need to determine the Trident's module number. Go to the Modules page. For me, it's 6.
Then go to edit any outlet of a power bar, you will get to the Output Configuration page, with URLof something like https://apexfusion.com/apex/<id>/config/outputs/2_1. (Local Apex works too, don't have to be fusion)
The last part is <Module>_<Outlet Number>. For Trident, the combine test, is the 3 output. The alk test is the 4 output. So for example, when I go to https://apexfusion.com/apex/<id>/config/outputs/6_3, it is the one that control combine test. You will see some OSC code there, reflecting your selected schedule. Now simply change it using normal Apex code, just turn on that output for 1 minute to kick off the test. This is what I have.
That's it, pretty straightforward. For example, to have alk tested twice a day, ca and mg tested for once a day, you will turn on Trident test once, which test all three, including alk. Then turn on alk one more time later to test for the second time.
I found the most useful time for the test is once right before the lights are on, and once after the lights are off. They're usually the highest and lowest point of alkalinity if dosing is constant 24/7.
BTW, I think it goes without saying, I have no idea any implication might cause from this, so use at your own risk.

Basically you lookup your trident module number, then in Fusion desktop click on any outlet. Then change the last number in the URL to match, ie:
My Trident is 5_1, so I change this to:
5_4 for the alkalinity test
5_3 for the combined test

No
What schedule do you run with trident and for how long now and how’s it working for ya?

The reagents are sold with the default ratio of usage in mind (double the Alk reagent). So if you want to keep up with that, I’d stick to a 1:1 ratio for combined:Alk. That said, I’m just doing 1 combined test a day at 6am. I really can’t find much use for more than one test a day with my setup. However, that means I’ll always end up with a surplus of Alk so I should probably just do 1:1. What I wouldn’t do is run more Alk tests than 1:1 or you risk running out/behind on Alk reagent.

The solenoid for CO2 injection is turned on and off based on the test results.
Sorry for the LATE LATE LATE reply.
I am going to have to try this

Here is my programming for the CO2 solenoid outlet.
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output 1RETURN2_2_2 = OFF Then OFF
If CARXpH < 6.00 Then OFF
If CARXpH > 7.00 Then ON
If pH_Tnk < 7.85 Then OFF
If Output CaRx-Limiter = ON Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then OFF
The Limiter, which is a Virtual Outlet, programming is.
OSC 005:00/240:00/000:00 Then ON
If Output CaRx-Maximum = ON Then OFF
The Maximum, another Virtual Outlet, programming is.
Set ON
If Alkx5 > 9.30 Then OFF

Calcium reactor control by Neptune Trident
Since the beginning of April 2019 I've had my Trident and after a couple weeks when I trusted it, I started experimenting with some programming I thought of well before its release. More people with reactors need to know about this easy to create and use program to help with Alkalinity...

I'm on this version and will be testing as I've always wanted to change this.Well if anyone updates to 5.06 2B22 without issue please let us know
Here's the change log I'm reviewing now.
AOS Release AOS 5.10_8A22 has been released
AOS 5.10_8A22 has been released. This AOS version contains support for the recently announced new A3 Apex models and the new Fluid Monitoring Module (FMM) sensors, which will soon be available for purchase. This AOS may be installed on any Apex model made since 2016 - the Apex (now known as...

Someone with AOS 5.10 8A22 was able to do this? When i try to access to trident outputs as mentioned above I got a message error that I cannot access there.
