Abstract

A liquid transporting apparatus includes a driving section that transports a the liquid; a control section that controls the driving section, based on a control pattern; and an operation section that is operated to change the control pattern for controlling the driving section.

Claims

1. A liquid transporting apparatus comprising:

a driving section that transports a liquid;

a control section that controls the driving section, based on a control pattern; and

an operation section that is operated to change the control pattern for controlling the driving section.

2. The liquid transporting apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation section is capable of setting a plurality of functions and one function of the plurality of functions which are set in the operation section is set by operating the operation section.

3. The liquid transporting apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein control section sets one function of the plurality of functions which are set in the operation section depending on a length of the operation of the operation section.

4. The liquid transporting apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the function of the operation section is set by using an external control device which remotely controls the liquid transporting apparatus from outside.

5. The liquid transporting apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the function that adjusts a liquid transport amount by changing the control pattern or the function that stops quickly the transportation of the liquid is set in the operation section.

6. A liquid transporting method comprising:

transporting a liquid;

controlling the transportation, based on a control pattern; and

changing the control patterns for controlling the transportation by operating an operation section.
