More examples, phisical device simulator

[wkusmirek]

Hello,

I'm working with minknow_api right now, but unfortunately I don't currently have access to a physical sequencer.

I have a request if it would be possible to expand the example section, such as test_extract_run_statistics.py Such files are very helpful in understanding how the api works.

Alternatively, would there be an option to add a physical device simulator that could be queried using minknow_api and would return a set of statistics, e.g. random temperature values?

Best,
Wiktor

I also would like to ask for adding physical simulator.

Hello,

In the latest versions of minknow (24.02), you can run:

> {minknow_install_dir}/bin/add_simulated_minion.sh # (there is also a bat file for windows)

This will create a simulated minion on your running instance of minknow.

Thanks,

• George

Hello,
Thank you for reply. Is it possible to run protocol on simulated device and get simulated data?

[0x55555555]

You can run a sequencing protocol on a simulated device, you can select playback data during run setup in the UI:

You can also start a run from the API using a --simulation extra argument passed to the sequencing script.

You can generate data for playback by writing out additional debug information from the UI:

Hope that helps,

Hello,

I followed your guide and enabled additional output. Differences from guide:

1. For checks I marked everything: Events, Read Table and Raw
2. For output I chose POD5

When I added simulated device and tried to run simulation, it throws an error
Unable to open Playback File ... as source for playback

I'm not sure how Playback file has to look like, and where exactly I made mistake. Could you help me?

Thank you
