# Lab Instrument Toolkit

Lab Instrument Toolkit provides a number of scripts that can be used for custom configuration.

* The *driver\_file\_generator* script ([*Template File Generator*](/clarity-lims/integration-toolkits/litk/litk-template-file-generator.md)) is a file-generation solution that produces custom template files without requiring scripting or development knowledge or resources.
* The *addBlankLines* script allows for the creation of files that require a line entry for every well in a container, including those wells that are empty.
* The *convertToExcel* script converts separated-value files (eg. CSV) to Microsoft Excel XLS or XLSX spreadsheet format.
* The *parseCSV* script allows for the data for each well to be parsed into fields on either derived samples or measurement records that map directly to the derived samples being measured.
* The *parseXmlBySampleName* script matches data in a result file to samples in the LIMS, using the measurement record LIMSID.
* The *PlacementHelper* script automates sample placement according to a transfer file produced by a robot. The script covers a one-to-one, many-to-one (pooling), or one-to-many (replicates) mapping of samples for placement.
