As mentioned earlier, **the print speed is used as a proxy to vary the extrusion flow rate**. Once your PA test is set up, change the gcode preview to “flow” and move the horizontal slider over one of the herringbone patterns and take note of the flow rate for different speeds.

### Running the tests
|
||||
|
||||
Setup your PA test as usual from the calibration menu in Orca slicer. It is recommended that the PA step is set to a small value, to allow you to make meaningful distinctions between the different tests – **therefore a PA step value of 0.001 is recommended. **

It is recommended that the PA step is set to a small value, to allow you to make meaningful distinctions between the different tests – **therefore a PA step value of 0.001 is recommended. **
|
||||
|
||||
**Set the end PA to a value high enough to start showing perimeter separation for the lowest flow (print speed) and acceleration test.** For example, for a Voron 350 using Revo HF, the maximum value was set to 0.05 as that was sufficient to show perimeter separation even at the slowest flow rates and accelerations.

PA pattern calibration configuration window have been changed to simplify test setup. Now all is needed is to fill list of accelerations and speeds into relevant fields of the calibration window:

Test patterns generated for each acceleration-speed pair and all parameters are set accordingly. No additional actions needed from user side. Just slice and print all plates generated.

**IMPORTANT:** Make sure your acceleration values are all the same in all text boxes. Same for the print speed values and Jerk (XY) values. Make sure your Jerk value is set to the external perimeter jerk used in your print profiles.
