Instrument import parser requires instrument configuration data

Open mikejmets opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Context: Instruments are configurable. When an instrument interface is developed, it would useful for the parser to know how a specific instrument has been configured. Use file format as a simple example. The Chemstation can export results as CSV or XLSX. When a lab configures the instrument in senaite, then should be able to capture the file format config for that instrument.

Steps to reproduce

Configure 2 physical instruments of the same model differently Create 2 Instruments in Senaite for that model Import results from the 2 instruments

Current behavior

The parser has no way of knowing how the physical instrument was configured

Expected behavior

The parser can get the configuration details from a json dict on the instrument to decide how the results should be parsed.
