Replace XC with MI ? #20

Closed sjackman closed 6 years ago

sjackman commented 6 years ago

If the cloud identifier XC is compatible with MI:i, could MI:i be used instead, for compatibility with Lariat?

arshajii commented 6 years ago

I think it should be compatible. I just want to make sure that Long Ranger's MIs aren't somehow unique even between different runs of Lariat. I don't think it should matter that much anyway because the (barcode, MI) pair should be unique regardless.

sjackman commented 6 years ago

I believe MI are serially incrementing integers starting at 0.

arshajii commented 6 years ago

OK we're now using MI instead of XC.

Thanks!
