Upon insertion of a Cassette, the Dock will detect and identify the Cassette type. After the user transfers
a clinical test sample into the Test Cassette and closes the Dock lid, embedded firmware in the Dock will
control fluid flow of the sample into the various chambers of the Test Cassette, apply controlled voltage
signals to the various Cassette heaters (monitored by sensors within the Dock), and provide visual status
to the user with critical information such as estimated time to read, and various error states, should they
be encountered.
