Gilson GSIOC SDK for Microsoft .Net written in C#

Also includes GSIOC Command Utility for sending commands to Gilson Devices

Features

• Completed managed code
• Scanning for devices
• Sending Immediate and Buffered commands
• Clasess for specific device functions such as Pump and Liquid Handlers
• Uses System.IO.Ports nuget package and is a .Net Standard 2.0 package

Connecting

To connect create a new instance of GSIOCConnection and provide the relecant Serail connection details, port name, baud rate, Parity, DataBits and stop bits.

using GilsonSdk;

var connection = new GSIOCConnection("COM6", 19200);

connection.Open();

Note: SerialPorts.Available ports can be used to find available ports

Finding Devices

GSIOCConnection provides the FindAllDevicesAsync method for scanning for all devices.

await _connection.DisconnectDevicesAsync(); //tells all devices to disconnect

var deviceIds = await _connection.FindAllDevicesAsync(0, (currentPort) =>
                    {
                        var message = $"Scanning: {currentPort}";

                        UI.InvokeOnUIThread(() =>
                        {
                            ScanningStatus = message;
                        });
                    });

FindAllDevicesAsync returns a List<GSIOCDeviceInfo> object that contains the Id of the device and the module information.

FindFirstDeviceAsync will similarly scan for devices, but it will stop after finding the first device.
