class pylabrobot.kbiosystems.ultraseal_pro.KBiosystemsUltrasealPRO(port: str, timeout: float = 5.0, settle_time: float = 5.0, preheating_temperature: int = 100, offline_temperature: int = 25)

Bases: KBiosystemsSealer

KBiosystems Ultraseal PRO heat sealer (formerly the WASP).

An inline, pneumatically driven heat sealer that advances and cuts its own film internally. A plate is placed on the shuttle while it is extended; the seal command draws the shuttle in, seals, and returns it automatically, so - unlike the Ultraseal XT Pro - the Ultraseal PRO exposes no shuttle park/unpark/reset commands over serial. The system initializes on power up (reporting Busy while it does), so there is no initialize command either.

Commands (in addition to the shared ?/E/S/A/B/C/ D/F, see KBiosystemsSealer): none. The Ultraseal PRO host protocol is exactly the shared command set.

Requires a compressed air supply (see the LowAir status bit).

Verified against hardware.

Methods

__init__(port[, timeout, settle_time, ...])
request_error_code()	Read the current error code (E).
request_sealing_temperature()	Read the sealing temperature setpoint in degrees C (C).
request_sealing_time()	Read the sealing time setpoint in seconds (D).
request_status()	Read the status byte (?).
request_temperature()	Read the current heater temperature in degrees C (F).
seal(temperature, duration[, idle_temperature])	Seal the plate currently on the shuttle.
send_command(command[, read_reply])	Send a command and return the reply with the echoed command stripped.
set_sealing_time(seconds)	Set the sealing time in seconds (B).
set_temperature(temperature)	Set the sealing temperature in degrees C (A).
setup()	Open the connection and bring the sealer to a ready, pre-heated state.
stop()	Return the heater to the offline temperature and close the port.
wait_for_idle([ignore_mask])	Wait until the device is Ready, tolerating the bits set in ignore_mask.
wait_for_sealing_temperature([timeout])	Block until the heater reaches the setpoint (NotAtSealTemperature clears).

Parameters:

• port (str)

• timeout (float)

• settle_time (float)

• preheating_temperature (int)

• offline_temperature (int)
