Venus
|
==============================================
|
This section aims to cover the *functions* that Venus can run. Documentation on more general principles of Venus, including things like the liquid editor and labware editor, will be found separately.
|
Venus functions are organised into several sections. These are the following:
|
- :ref:`General Steps`
|
- :ref:`Scheduler Steps`
|
- :ref:`Custom Dialog Steps`
|
- :ref:`Favourites`
|
- :ref:`Templates`
|
There are also instrument specific functions in their own categories:
|
- :ref:`ML_STAR`
|
- :ref:`Microlab STAR Smart Steps`
|
.. General Steps
|
The general steps are composed of relatively standard coding functions that will be present in many other coding languages. These are not associated with the hardware of any instrument and are present on Venus regardless of whether you are using a STAR, a STARLet, or any other instrument which uses Venus. The functions which fall under general steps are listed below:
|
- :ven:func:`Comment`
|
- :ven:func:`Assignment`
|
- :ven:func:`Assignment with Calculation`
|
- :ven:func:`Loop`
|
- :ven:func:`Loop: Break`
|
- :ven:func:`If, Else`
|
- :ven:func:`Array: Declare / Set Size`
|
- :ven:func:`Array: Set At`
|
- :ven:func:`Array: Get At`
|
- :ven:func:`Array: Get Size`
|
- :ven:func:`Array: Copy`
|
- :ven:func:`Sequence: Get Current Position`
|
- :ven:func:`Sequence: Set Current Position`
|
- :ven:func:`Sequence: Get End Position`
|
- :ven:func:`Sequence: Set End Position`
|
- :ven:func:`Adjust Sequences`
|
- :ven:func:`File: Open`
|
- :ven:func:`File: Read`
|
- :ven:func:`File: Write`
|
- :ven:func:`File: Set Position`
|
- :ven:func:`File: Close`
|
- :ven:func:`Timer: Start`
|
- :ven:func:`Timer: Wait for`
|
- :ven:func:`Timer: Read Elapsed Time`
|
- :ven:func:`Timer: Restart`
|
- :ven:func:`User Input`
|
- :ven:func:`User Output`
|
- :ven:func:`Shell`
|
- :ven:func:`Set Event`
|
- :ven:func:`Wait for Event`
|
- :ven:func:`Return`
|
- :ven:func:`Abort`
|
- :ven:func:`Error Handling by the User`
|
- :ven:func:`Begin Parallel`
|
- :ven:func:`End Parallel`
|
.. Scheduler Steps
|
The scheduler steps are functions which arrange the method to be executed on a number of resources and submitted to capacity, time and precedence relations in a way that fulfils the optimality criteria. The methods and its activation criterions are defined in a workflow.
|
The Schedule process is divided into two phases: scheduling and executing. The scheduler functions are listed below:
|
- :ven:func:`Select Method`
|
- :ven:func:`Activate Task`
|
- :ven:func:`Cancel Task`
|
- :ven:func:`Schedule Block`
|
- :ven:func:`Reschedule`
|
.. Custom Dialog Steps
|
The custom dialog steps only adds the :ven:func:`Custom Dialog` function, which allows creation of more complicated dialogs than the standard :ven:func:`User Input` and :ven:func:`User Output` functions.
|
.. Favourites
|
The favourites drop-down allows you to select functions which you use frequently to be in their own separate tab so that they are easier to find. These steps will be favourited on every method.
|
.. Templates
|
Templates add the ability to preprogram commonly used functions and processes/sets of functions so that the user doesn't have to write them freshly every time. An example might be a tip pickup step with all the parameters for pickup already programmed in so you don't have to fill them in, or a bulk creation of arrays for an ASW Dialog.
|
.. ML_STAR
|
The ML_STAR section adds the core functions which interact with the ML_STAR itself, which is anything that interacts with the hardware or firmware of the STAR. They are split into the power steps and single steps. The single steps are then split into liquid handling functions, preparation functions, transport functions, and miscellaneous functions. The functions which come under the ML_STAR tab are:
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Aspirate`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Dispense`
|
- :ven:func:`CO-RE 96 Head Aspirate`
|
- :ven:func:`CO-RE 96 Head Dispense`
|
- :ven:func:`iSWAP Transport`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel CO-RE Grip Transport`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Tip Pick Up (Single Step)`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Aspirate (Single Step)`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Dispense (Single Step)`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Dispense on the Fly (Single Step)`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Tip Eject (Single Step)`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Get Last Liquid Level (Single Step)`
|
- :ven:func:`1000ul Channel Aspirate 2nd Phase (Single Step)`
