Experiment profile failing to start

Hello,

version: 24.7.7 (but we experienced this on 24.6.10 too we believe).

Behaviour: experiment profile would not run when “Run profile” button clicked indicated by:

  • “Run profile” button greying out but…
  • “Profile running” staying as “None” and “Profile started” at staying as “-” and…
  • Activities started in the profile not transitioning to “on” in the Pioreactors tab

Expected behaviour:

  • “Run profile” button greying out and…
  • “Profile running” changing to “[experiment_profile_name]” and Profile started at changing to “[current_datetime]”
  • Activities started in the profile not transitioning to “on” in the Pioreactors tab

Fix:

  • Adding into config.ini:
[pioreactor]
model=pioreactor_20ml

Sharing in case others experience the same issue. Also, it may be worth updating the default config.ini.

Thanks!
