Hello,

Please see get_flow_cell_info here: https://github.com/nanoporetech/minknow_api/blob/master/proto/minknow_api/device.proto#L48

and the flow_cell_id field here: https://github.com/nanoporetech/minknow_api/blob/master/proto/minknow_api/device.proto#L470

I hope that helps?

Thanks,

Thanks for your rapid reply. I could not dedicate too much time on this. But so far I am not really clear how to use the device.proto file from python to derive the flowcell id. I could not find the lines you mentioned in device_pb2.py or device.py. could you please indicate which routine to import to derive the flowcell id? Many thanks

I will try to follow this up middle of next week.
