laser

Illumina HiSeq 2500 System :: Laser

Example:

#Create laser object
import pyseq
green_laser = pyseq.laser.Laser('COM13', color='green')
#Initialize the laser, default power is 10 mW.
green_laser.initialize()
green_laser.status()
True
#Set the power to 100 mW
green_laser.set_power(100)
green_laser.get_power()
100
#Turn the laser off
green_laser.turn_on(False)
