CBr4 Source
Since the CBr4 controller wouldn't properly communicate with AMBER, we had to get Andy to make a piggy-back COMs box. It communicates through a standard RS232 serial port. Simply put the following two instrument driver files in the instruments folder of AMBER, add the instrument, choose the COMs number and you're set:
When you click on it in the Data tab, you can manually increment and decrement the state. To control it from the recipe, use the following syntax: (the name of the instrument in this example is CBr4. you can make it whatever you want)
== **** example recipe **** ==
== increment state up ==
writetext CBr4 +
wait 2
== increment state down ==
writetext CBr4 -
