Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling driving of a test device that analyzes a sample are provided. The method includes identifying a test device, executing a script containing a plurality of operations to be performed to analyze the sample contained in the test device, wherein the script includes a plurality of operation commands, wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes a conditional statement, and wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands is designated to be executed according to whether the conditional statement is satisfied.

Claims (40)

1. A method for controlling driving of a test device containing a sample, the method comprising:

identifying a test device; and

executing a script containing a plurality of operations to be performed to analyze the sample contained in the test device, wherein the script comprises a plurality of operation commands,

wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes a conditional statement, and

wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands is designated to be executed according to whether the conditional statement is satisfied.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the executing the script comprises:

executing the designated operation command when it is determined that the conditional statement is satisfied when an operation corresponding to the operation command including the conditional statement is performed.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of operation commands is assigned a unique operation number.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes information about a number of repeated retrial actions to be executed when an operation error occurs.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the executing the script comprises:

repeating performance of an operation if the operation error occurs in the operation corresponding to the operation command including the information about the number of repeated retrial actions, wherein the number of repeated retrial actions does not exceed a predetermined number.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

displaying an error message when the operation error occurs even though operation errors equal to the number of repeated retrial actions have been performed.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes an operation command to be executed after a corresponding operation is completed.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the executing the script comprises:

performing the corresponding operation corresponding to the operation command including the operation command to be executed after the corresponding operation is completed; and

after completing the corresponding operation, executing the operation command to be executed after the corresponding operation is completed.

9. A method for controlling driving of a test device containing a sample, the method comprising:

identifying a test device;

executing a script containing a series of operations to be performed to analyze the sample,

wherein the script includes a plurality of operation commands,

wherein at least one operation command includes information about a number of repeated retrial actions to be executed in case of an operation error, and

wherein the executing the script comprises repeating an operation if an operation error occurs in the operation corresponding to the operation command including information about the number of repeated retrial actions, where the number of repeated retrial actions is not greater than a predetermined number of repeated retrial actions.

10. A method for controlling driving of a test device containing a sample, the method comprising:

identifying a test device;

executing a script containing a plurality of operations to be performed to analyze the sample, wherein the script includes a plurality of operation commands, wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes a designated operation command to be executed after a corresponding operation is completed, and

wherein the executing the script comprises, after completing the corresponding operation corresponding to the operation command including the designated operation command to be executed after the corresponding operation is completed, executing the designated operation command.

11. A computer program product controlling a driving of a test device containing a sample, the computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium and when executed by a computer, performing the method of claim 1 .

12. An apparatus for analyzing a sample contained in a test device, the apparatus comprising:

a recognition unit which identifies the test device;

a driver which drives the test device;

an analysis unit which analyzes the sample contained in the test device; and

a controller which executes a script containing a plurality of operations to be performed to analyze the sample contained in the test device, and controls the recognition unit, the driver, and the analysis unit according to the executed script, wherein the script includes a plurality of operation commands, wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes a conditional statement and

wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operations commands is designated to be executed according to whether the conditional statement is satisfied.

13. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the controller executes the designated operation command when it is determined that the conditional statement is satisfied when an operation corresponding to the operation command including the conditional statement is performed.

14. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein each of the plurality of operation commands is assigned a unique operation number.

15. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes information about a number of repeated retrial actions to be performed when an operation error occurs.

16. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the controller repeats performance of an operation if the operation error occurs in the operation including the information about the number of repeated retrial actions, wherein the number of repeated retrial actions does not exceed a predetermined number.

17. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein at least one operation command among the plurality of operation commands includes an operation command to be executed after a corresponding operation is completed.

18. The apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the controller, after completing the corresponding operation corresponding to the operation command including the operation command to be executed after the corresponding operation is completed, executes the operation command to be executed after the corresponding operation is completed.
