This is the main dashboard user interface for the BetteRx Web App

You can ignore the "**Control**" Panel for now, the UI is under construction. You can hide it if you'd like by pressing the menu bar button next to the **Home** button.

If you do hit any buttons in the control panel and are taken to a different screen other than the main dashboard, simply press the **BetteRx Logo** to return to the main dashboard. 

If you click on the "**Configure**" button, you will see this screen and the extruder will begin moving towards the autoprime sensor. You can either wait for it to reach the sensor and then select the **Home** button, or you can select the **Emergency Stop** button to stop it in it's track, and then select the **Home** button to reset.

Always select the **Home** button to reset your device before initiating any prints. Especially when starting a brand new print file (switching from one formulary to another).

If you try selecting from the **API** menu *before* choosing a **Formula Base** and nothing appears in the drop down, don't be alarmed. 

The **API** drop down menu will only populate after you've selected a base.

Enter the ***Strength*** *(per dose)*, ***API Mass***, and ***Total Formula Mass*** of your Master Formulary Record that you're preparing to dispense. The software should auto calculate the ***Target Dispense Mass*** per dose based on your inputs.

Enter the number of doses you want to dispense.

Designate a Lot Number to this print. 

Select **Start Print** to initiate the print file!

Estimated print time should appear and then you can select **Start File** to begin printing!

The AutoCompounder is going to begin heating the extruder based on the formula you selected. You can hit **Close** here and wait.

*If you plan to dispense formulas that require heat, we strongly suggest setting the extruder and/or bay heater to the desired temperature at the start of day, or at least before preparing the actual formula. This way you don't have to wait for it to heat up when you're ready to print, because it can take 5-10 min to reach your desired temperature, and the AutoCompounder won't initiate it's print sequence until it does.*

Once the extruder reaches the correct temperature you will then be instructed to **Load Cartridge**.

Insert your loaded cartridge into the extruder and select the **Load Cartridge** button.

Attach the Extruder **Piston** (*pusher*/*block*).

Begin manually priming with the extruder buttons so that the piston moves closer to the top of the plunger before selecting "**Ok**", as this will initiate the autoprime.

Don't forget to place a weigh boat underneath the autoprime sensor before priming!

Be mindful of the space between the piston and the top of the plunger when priming. If you hit the extrude button multiple times too quickly, you risk wasting product before the print even begins.

After selecting "**Ok**" on the last screen, the autoprime will begin. You can hit **Close**.

Congratulations! You've initiated your first print. Now you should be able to *Set It and Forget It* with ease every time going forward, so you can get more work done while the AutoCompounder finishes the job efficiently, accurately, and without the messy clean up.
