Mandatory commands
This section describes the mandatory commands available for the SiLA consumer while working with
the Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC) System SiLA Provider. All mandatory commands are primarily
processed internally by the SiLA State Machine. Not every command can be issued in every state of the
SiLA State Machine.
In this section only additional functionality that is specific for the Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC)
System SiLA Driver is described. Please refer to the
SiLA Device Control & Data Interface Specification
for further information.
