Most difficulties in working with Micro-Manager arise from configuring the system and from problems/issues with specific devices. In both of these cases you are interacting mainly with device adapters. These device adapters have been written by several different authors, all behave slightly differently, and interact with specific hardware that has its own peculiarities. On these pages we will maintain as much information as possible about Micro-Manager device adapters. This will help you configure and understand your Micro-Manager system. We hope that the authors of the device adapters will maintain this information, but please feel free to update the information here with your own experiences. The information here will refer to the most recent Micro-Manager release.

Motorized Microscopes

I understand to open the port in.NET I can call the port by COM number. SerialPort s = new SerialPort('COM9'); s.Open; calls the device on COM9. However, if I run my program and serial port device on another computer port number could be changed, yet the device. Virtual COM Port Drivers Some USB devices use a Virtual COM port (VCP) driver, which causes the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC (listed in Windows Device Manager, under the Ports (COM & LPT) type, as a “USB Serial Port (COMx)” device. In addition to the SCSI Port Driver and the Storport Driver, Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system provide the ATA port driver (Ataport.sys), a storage port driver that is especially suitable for use with IDE controllers.
