Fully customize Neptune Trident's test schedule

Yates273 · May 22, 2023

Can anyone tell me if this still works. I tried accessing the output on the local page for my Trident to change the schedule to once a day and it tells me page not found. Also when I click on one of my outputs the url doesn’t change to that output it just says basement_reef_.local no matter what I do

Disregard just figured out and hoping this works out. Have it set to test once a day. 12 am and 12 pm
Using this code
For combined test

Set off
If time 0:00 to 0:01 Then on

For alk

Set off
If time 12:00 to 12:01 Then on

How did you get to the configure settings? Local isn’t working for me either

The reason why my local wasn’t working is because I renamed it to basement reef. If you renamed your local make sure you use that in your url and not apex.local.

Much appreciated for sharing this, the twice daily calcium/magnesium test always seemed excessive to me.

I’ve been using this for a few days and it’s working fine for the alk (running tests at 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21) but I’m trying to run the combo at midnight and every single time I’m getting a test A fail on the combo test. I’ve tried 4 different programs and even tried it at 23:30 instead of 00:00 in case the midnight was tripping it up. It’s weird because test a is the alk that’s failing in the combo but the alk only tests are running fine. Anyone else encounter this issue?

Where do I look to see if I renamed my local?

Mine doesn’t go to an outlet. Im confused.

Go to settings then network and it will show you your host name.

Ok my host is “apex” but see photo above. It has no underscore then outlet number. Just says “Trident”.

Yes it does. I am still using the modified program

Make sure you have the

You’ll have to elaborate on where you’re having the problem. I’m guessing getting getting to the web pages to edit the code? Without more info, my advice is read the OP very carefully and you’ll get there.

Also, on the general topic one alternative to cutting back on tests is to just buy cheaper reagents. On a different forum I discovered abcreagents.com which is run by a guy who figured out what reagents Neptune uses and charges a huge markup for. I still like the idea of fewer tests because it means fewer reagent changes, fewer calibrations, less waste container emptying, and less useless data. But I thought I’d throw that out there since reagents can be had for half price or less.
