B-12 Computer Control
Example of Application Subroutine
EXAMPLE
Goal: Read a microplate at 405 nm, blank on well A1, print the heading
and optical densities for all wells, and send the optical densities for all
wells to the computer.
• Set up a 170-character array (see Table B-4). Each character
should be 1 byte.
• This array represents a file setup similar to a typical file for an
EL312e. The multiple byte strings, such as Array [33 - 34] and
Array [35 - 36] are listed as low byte first and high byte second.
This is how the reader expects the strings to come across.
Array [1]
= Loop through each byte of the
following array starting at 2. Put that
number in Array 1. This is a
checksum for this file structure.
