The book teaches laboratory professionals without backgrounds in programming how they can automate devices in laboratories using AutoIt, a scripting language for the Windows operating system. Because the large majority of devices used in laboratories operate using Windows, the approach has ample reach.
Claims[edit]
Despite being a predominantly practical book, with numerous exercises, the book proposes a new approach to laboratory automation, which fundamentally differs from the traditional one.
With the traditional approach to laboratory automation, an instrument exchanges information with another. This has the problem that only instruments designed to be able to communicate with each other can be controlled this way, which generates compatibility issues.
The new approach presented in the book is based on the control of different instruments directly by a computer, without need of direct communication between instruments. Because of that, there are no compatibility issues between any instruments.
The elimination of compatibility issues between instruments can lead to considerable simplification and cost reduction in laboratory setups.
