A standard (SiLA, Standardization in Lab Automation) that focuses on the connection between sample processing devices and a software system for automation gains acceptance. This article reports about the creation and contents of the first set of standard specifications developed during the first 2 years. These specifications-named Device Control and Data Interface Specification, Common Command Dictionary, and Data Capture Specification-describe how devices are connected to a software controlling the interplay of the devices, the command sets for various device classes, and the structure of result data such as data generated by microtiter plate readers. A section about SiLA-compliant products and pilot projects using SiLA-compatible devices for system integration gives an idea about the acceptance of the standard in the marketplace.
一项专注于样本处理设备与自动化软件系统之间连接的标准(SiLA,实验室自动化标准化)获得了认可。本文报告了头两年制定的第一套标准规范的创建过程和内容。这些规范——名为设备控制与数据接口规范、通用命令字典和数据捕获规范——描述了设备如何连接到控制设备相互作用的软件、各种设备类别的命令集以及诸如酶标仪生成的数据等结果数据的结构。关于符合SiLA的产品以及使用SiLA兼容设备进行系统集成的试点项目的章节,让我们了解了该标准在市场上的接受情况。
