MicroDrop v2.0 device specification

Requirement levels in this document are defined according to International Engineering Task Force RFC 2119.

  1. A device file MUST be a valid Inkscape Scalable Vector Graphic file.

  2. A device file MUST include at least a layer named "Device".

  3. The "Device" layer of the device file MAY include one or more svg:path or svg:polygon elements.

  4. The device file MAY include a layer named "Connections" containing ONLY zero or more svg:line or svg:path elements. The two end-points of each svg:line element in the "Connections" layer MUST overlap two distinct svg:path or svg:polygon elements in the "Device" layer, indicating that the two corresponding elements are "connected".

  5. Two distinct svg:path or svg:polygon elements in the "Device" layer are connected iff it is possible for a droplet to move between the respective electrodes on a fabricated DMF chip.

  6. Layers and groups in the device file MUST NOT include a transform attribute.

  7. All svg:path elements MUST use absolute (i.e., upper-case) commands.
