Deleting the stored barcodes: "deletebarcodes"
This command is used to delete all of the stored barcodes.
The "Barcode" menu will be updated.
NOTE
This command will not be accepted unless the centrifuge is at a standstill.
Reading out the data of the last centrifugation run: "getlastrun"
The response to this command includes information concerning the
parameters and status of the last centrifugation run (for the exact format of
the data see chapter 11.6 - "Serial Control Interface Specification").
If barcodes have been stored, they will also be output as follows:
• Syntax data structure 001:
"Barcode;x;abc\r\n" (x = serial number starting at 1, abc = barcode)
• Syntax data structure 020:
"Barcode;Staff Member ID;abc\r\n" (abc = barcode)
The enquiry can be performed at any time (before, during, and after the
centrifugation run). Depending on the time of the enquiry, some of the
results may still be unknown.
