What is <DEVICE_ID>

[timmocking]

I'm trying to do a first simulation run. The playback seems to work fine, but whenever I try to run the line in the command line of the GridION:

readfish unblock-all --device <DEVICE_ID> --experiment-name "readuntil_simulation"

I get the following:
ValueError: Could not find device '<DEVICE_ID>'

It is unclear to me what is referred to as the DEVICE_ID. I have tried the following things:

• The code in the topleft corner of the MinKNOW GUI (GXBxxxxx)
  On the sticker of the back of the machine:
• The code after GridION x5 (GRD-xxxxxx)
• The serial number bellow that (same as the topleft corner of GUI)
• The vertical number on the sticker (ONT-xx-xxxxx-xx-x)

Hi Tim,

Sorry - that's a little ambiguous. The on a GridION is one of X1, X2, X3, X4 or X5. If running a MinION it would be the MinION device ID - e.g. MN18475. If running a promethION at a future date it would be the PromethION device ID.
