Adapter Development Overview

1. Setup your adapter development environment. See Set Up a Local Dev Container.

2. Configure the adapter. See Adapter Configuration.

3. Develop your adapter. See the section Setting Up An Adapter and the other adapter development sections.

4. Develop your workflows. See the section Step 2: Create your first Workflow and the other workflow development sections.

5. Test the above steps while simulating drivers or by connecting to drivers deployed on a test VM or on a lab instrument’s PC. You will need to reconfigure the adapter as described in Adapter Configuration. For running the adapter, consult Set Up a Local Dev Container.

6. Deploy to a real lab.

   • Install drivers on the lab instruments’ PC’s. See Connecting to On-Site Lab Hardware.

   • Deploy the adapter to the lab IPC. See Deployment.
