  • Publication number: 20210039383
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die is described. The fluidic die includes an array of fluid actuators grouped into primitives. Each actuator is disposed in a fluid chamber. The fluidic die also includes an array of fluid sensors. Each fluid sensor is disposed within a fluid chamber and determines a characteristic within the fluid chamber. A data parser of the fluidic die extracts from an incoming signal, firing instructions and measurement instructions for the fluidic die. The measurement instructions indicate at least one of a peak measurement during a nucleation event and a reference measurement during a non-nucleation event. A firing controller generates firing signals based on the firing instructions and a measurement controller activates, during a measurement interval of a printing cycle for the primitive, a measurement for a selected actuator based on the measurement instructions.

  • Publication number: 20210016565
    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes a device support to receive a fluid dispensing device, and a controller to identify, based on data controlling activation of fluidic actuators, a fluidic actuator that is to be activated in a first activation cycle of a group of activation cycles that correspond to activation intervals of respective fluidic actuators of a group of fluidic actuators of the fluid dispensing device, the identified fluidic actuator being part of the group of fluidic actuators. To perform a sense measurement for the identified fluidic actuator, the controller suppresses activation of the identified fluidic actuator in the first activation cycle, and causes activation of the identified fluidic actuator in a sense measurement cycle different from the first activation cycle, the sense measurement cycle being part of the group of activation cycles.
