1. A method of operating a fluidic system, wherein the fluidic system comprises a fluidic resistive element,
wherein the method comprises a defined volume flow step, wherein in the defined volume flow step, a defined volume of a fluid is forced to flow out of the fluidic resistive element, wherein the defined volume is the fluid flowing out of the fluidic resistive element in a first time interval defined by a time tstart and a time tend,
wherein the defined volume flow step comprises
at the time tstart, switching the system from a first operating state to a second operating state, to bring a pressure in the fluidic resistive element from a first pressure value to a second pressure value, the second pressure value exceeding the first pressure value,
at a time treduce, which is after the time tstart and not later than the time tend, switching the system to a third operating state to bring the pressure in the fluidic resistive element to a third pressure value, the third pressure value being below the second pressure value.
