To verify that the oil pattern volume output is dispensing the correct amount of conditioner to the lane, you can perform a pattern volume test.

From the home screen, tap on the menu button located at the bottom center and the menu screen will be displayed. Tap the TEST button in the bottom left and the test screen will be displayed. Tap the PATTERN VOLUME button and the oil patterns will be displayed. Use the left and right arrows next to the pattern name until you arrive at the program to be tested. With the oil tip assembly in the graduated cylinder, tap the RUN TEST button at the bottom of the screen and the oil head will start up and will duplicate the pattern into the cylinder.

By calculating your program's total oil volume and double-checking the math, you can use the reading you get to check your volume per board adjustment. When the math is correct, it will tell you if the pump needs adjusting.  

Having the total output for the program will ensure that the program values are entered correctly. It will also help you understand each change you make. Although it is not information that will be used daily, it is a way of explaining a lane condition in exact terms.  

These measurements can be written down and duplicated in the future. In other words, it defines a lane condition so that it can be recognized and explained to anyone, much like any other specification of the bowling lane such as its length and width.
