Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method of controlling fluid discharge from an applicator head (1) for a fluid, said method comprising the steps of supplying a primary discharge signal (A) for controlling the applicator head, analysing only the primary discharge signal for a recurrent pattern, transforming the primary discharge signal into a secondary discharge signal (F) when a recurrent pattern has been detected, and supplying the secondary discharge signal to the applicator head. The invention is characterised in that the secondary discharge signal has a plurality of successive, spaced-apart signal portions which are each determined as part of the length of the primary signal, preferably as a percentual part, and whose total length is less than the length of the primary signal.
