##CLI Commands

  Variables:
    getRelay1 (string)
    getRelay2 (string)
    getRelay3 (string)
    getRelay4 (string)
    getRelay5 (string)
    getRelay6 (string)
    relayON (string)
    relayOFF (string)
  Functions:

    int setDoseRate(String args) 
    int manual(String args) 
    int setTimeZone(String args)

####Variable Example

particle get <photonName> getRelay1

####Manual Function

• args = pump#, on, off

particle call <photonName> manual 1,on

####Calibration Function

• args = pump#

particle call <photonName> calibrate 

####SetupChannel

• args = channel#,startTime,dosingPeriod,numberOfDoses,dose

• startTime is time of day in seconds (Ex: 14:30:00 = 52200)

• dosingPeriod determines if the program runs over a 12hr or 24hr period

• numberOfDoses is how many doses will take place over the dosingPeriod

• dose is the total amount that will be dosed during the dosingPeriod

The example below would tell pump 1 to start dosing 200mL at 14:30:00, 12 times over a 12hr period.

particle call <photonName> setupChannel 1,52200,12,12,200

####SetDoseRate

• arg = pump#,value (ie 13.2)

particle call <photonName> setDoseRate 1,13.2
