B-24 Computer Control
The Get Minimum Kinetic Interval (‘$‘) command is defined as follows:
Host Response
'$' <ACK/NAK>
Reader response protocol (hex format):
interval low byte,0x00 0xFF
interval high byte,0x00 0xFF
The Get Minimum Kinetic Interval command then returns the standard status
response string.
Intervals are returned in units of seconds. Minimum kinetic intervals are calculated
based on a number of different variables, including but not limited to the user’s
selection of strip(s), wavelength(s), shake time, and baud rate.
The host PC should ensure that all reader setup commands have been sent for the
upcoming read before requesting the minimum kinetic interval (filter configuration,
assay definition with or without multi-wavelength setup, strip range selection, etc.).
