Protocol scripts
The experiment protocols are a repository of Python scripts that are used to control the nanopore device during an experiment. The protocol selector in the MinKNOW GUI requires input from the user at the start of the experiment, and will pick the script that fits the requirements in the options selected.
Once a protocol is selected, it controls the hardware settings such as temperature and voltage, as well as the duration of the run. During a run, the script uses MinKNOW analysis tools to run and monitor the real-time elements of the experiment, for example channel flicking, voltage adjustments, pore scans, and selecting pore-containing channels.
