Model-based instruments are an instrument type that is defined in the PinMap and based on a user-selected instrument model. Instrument models define instruments that consist of multiple hardware resources and require more complex and flexible connection and configuration information. The IModelBasedInstrument object contains information about properties for the instrument and the hardware resources the instrument needs as defined by the instrument model.
