Introduction
Purpose
This document describes the interface between a FLIPR
®
Tetra System
and a robotic instrument. The intention of the document is to provide a
general overview of the interface between the instrument and robot
and a detailed description of the communication protocol between the
ScreenWorks Software, which will run on the host computer of the
FLIPR
®
Tetra System instrument, and the robotic control software.
Information contained in this document might change as new
development occurs—we recommend checking with your Molecular
Devices sales representative for updated information.
Document Conventions
• Bold text is used for commands
• Italic text is used for parameters
• Parameters in bracket [parameter1] are optional

Interface Versioning
As of version 1.1 of the automation interface, the interface is versioned
separately to the ScreenWorks Software and FLIPR
®
Tetra System
firmware. The interface now provides a command so it can be queried
for its version number. This command will be described in detail later in
this document.
