Add Protocol Based on Existing Protocol

add_protocol_based_on.Rd

add_protocol_based_on() adds a new protocol to the protocol lookup table based on an existing protocol. Use this instead of add_protocol in case you have a new protocol that varies just slightly from existing one.

Usage

add_protocol_based_on(
  con,
  based_on,
  new_name,
  commit = FALSE,
  software_version = NULL,
  reader_type = NULL,
  reader_serial_number = NULL,
  plate_type = NULL,
  set_point = NULL,
  preheat_before_moving = NULL,
  runtime = NULL,
  interval = NULL,
  read_count = NULL,
  run_mode = NULL,
  excitation = NULL,
  emissions = NULL,
  optics = NULL,
  gain = NULL,
  light_source = NULL,
  lamp_energy = NULL,
  read_height = NULL
)

Arguments

con

A DBI connection object obtained from DBI::dbConnect()

based_on

A valid protocol name, this protocol must exist.

                      user = cfg$username,
                      password = cfg$password)
