Neptune Programming Language

Hi, got an APEX lite and love it!
Was wondering, what is the program language that the APEX uses. What its called? What is OSC?
Also Trying to write a progam for my alk doser to run. For ph control from

12 am to 7am on
for 10 min every hour
if ph is less than 8.2
off if ph more than 8.3

I can tweak settings later.

Thanks in advance

OSC stands for oscillate, it is primarily intended to control power heads in a repeating cycle. It is also useful for dosing supplements by spreading it out over an extended period. So, for your example:

[Dose]
Fallback OFF
OSC 000/10/50 Then ON
If Time 7:10 to 24:00 Then OFF
If pH > 8.30 Then OFF

If you have not read it yet, the New Users Guide stickied at the top of the forum has a ton of useful information.
