pylabrobot.plate_reading.biotek_backend.Cytation5Backend.shake

async Cytation5Backend.shake(shake_type: ShakeType, frequency: int) → None

Warning: the duration for shaking has to be specified on the machine, and the maximum is 16 minutes. As a hack, we start shaking for the maximum duration every time as long as stop is not called. I think the machine might open the door at the end of the 16 minutes and then move it back in. We have to find a way to shake continuously, which is possible in protocol-mode with kinetics.

Parameters:

• frequency (int) – speed, in mm

• shake_type (ShakeType)

Return type:

None
