Status<CR>
Command Description
The status command returns the status of the instrument. The status
response will be an ASCII text string which includes:
• Information about the instrument type and firmware version.
• Whether the instrument is functioning normally or an error
occurred. If an error has occurred, this field will contain an error
code and an error string of less than 300 characters. The error
code and error string will be separated by a comma and space.
• The instrument status field reports a summary of status
information including whether the instrument is busy, faulted,
error, resetting, aborted, or idle. It also reports whether the
instrument is remote or manual mode. In manual mode, only
status information is available through this interface. All other
commands will not function. Finally, this line reports whether the
software is online (connected to the instrument) or not.
• Whether an experiment is running or not—do not open or start
another experiment until the first is finished.
• Name of the plates assigned to each position.
• Whether plates are present or not on plate locations.
• Whether plates need to be loaded or removed.
• Whether the plate handler is busy or idle.
• Whether the landing pad has a plate or not.
• Camera temperature. Status returns “not_ok” while camera CCD
temperature is cycling and/or out of range as defined by factory
firmware settings, “off” if camera temperature control is
disabled, or “ok” otherwise. Typically factory setpoint is -60 °C 
2 for EMCCD camera or -20 °C  5 for ICCD camera. Also returns
actual CCD temperature and setpoint.
• Chamber temperature. Status reports “not_ok” while chamber is
not at setpoint temperature (typical factory tolerance of  0.5
°C), “fault” if sensor does not return a reading, “off” if chamber
temperature control has been disabled, or “ok” otherwise.
• Waste/fill bottle status.
• Tips on|off.
• Outer auto door, open/closed—if it is closing it is reported as
closed.
