The code to do this is trivial. 2000ppm is only 33pps, which is well
within the speed capabilities of the BX24. You should use a keypad or
some similar device to allow the customer to input the gallon amount,
and start the pump. If you use the LCDX unit which has an LCD, and a
keypad interface, you would be able to achieve this. You WILL need to
read and understand the sample code given.
The veeder Root input pulses may need to be cleaned up and level shifted
to 5v pulses...i've not used one.... Simply use the pulse input to
increment a software counter ( in a fast loop) and when the count is
equal to or greater than the [preset pulse count enterd by the customer
on the KB, multiplied by the number of pulses per gallon,] shut off the
relay ( and zero the count, ready for the next KB command). You WILL
need to read and understand the BX24/35 docs to write a loop, handle
software counters and do comparisons.

I agree that this sounds like a job for LCDX , which also has relay
driver outputs and flexible (5v, 10v, 20mA, 10k resistive) input options.

Thanks for the reply. To simplify the user input portion I am going
to just have a two button (up/down) for the gallon input and have
this of increments of 10 gallons (works for us). I'll have a PCB
made for the -35 (and components), power supply, relays, and 2x20 LCD
connector. I have an understanding of the basics for the 24 and 35
but the pulse thing is new to me. Would I use inputcapture on this?
Thanks for your patience.
