Find if a Tecan Fluent is ran in simulation

Hi,

Does anyone know if there’s a way to find if a Fluent was used in simulation or in real in the log files ? I’m able to generate the zip with all the log files, but I don’t know where to find this flag. My goal is to create a program that parses all the log files and generate a line in a database to record how long the robot was used.

Thank you,

If you look in C:\ProgramData\Tecan\VisionX\AuditTrail\

Each file records the runs/updates per day,

There is a line here showing which instrument was connected,

An example is below:

2025-04-14 10:31:53.656;No user logged in;FluentControl Status;;;;3.3.12.60898 Simulated instrument connected: USB:TECAN,FLUENT,1910004420;

If you want to know how long the robot was used etc.. I’d suggest to also check out Introspect; there is somewhere on the Tecan website where you can create an account and find more information. There’s an IoT Client that is installed together with FluentControl and needs to be set up to activate the logfile parsing and then it sends data like Instrument activity, Diti consumption and more into your Introspect account.
