Device Interface Standard (DCDIS)

Common Command Library

Labware Specification Standard

Data Interface Standards

=SiLA Standards=

SiLA has developed and released a detailed technical specification of the SiLA Device Control and '''Data Interface StandardSpecification''' (DCDIS) and a Common Command Library. The development of the SiLA Data Capture Standard, a standardized format for meta data and result data from microplate readers, has reached the final phase.

A paper describing these three standards in details is under preparation for publication in JALA.

==Device Interface Standard==

Line 103 ⟶ 95:

Some commands are applicable for almost every device class. For example the commands SetParameter, GetParameter, ExecuteMethod are widely used. Also PrepareForOutput and PrepareForInput are common because they enable the transport mechanisms to transfer labware items from device to device. The mandatory commands include operations like Reset, Initialize, Abort and Pause. In addition also locking a device for exclusive use is provided.
