Adding or Removing Devices

  1. The list above displays all of the devices that will be handled by Micro-Manager in this configuration file.
  2. If you are making a new configuration file for the first time, please visit the Micro-Manager website (www.micro-manager.org) and look under Devices to find instructions for setting up all your devices.
  3. You can begin adding new devices whenever you're ready (click 'Add' button). If you need more help with deciding which devices to add, highlight a particular device and click Help (it really helps!).
  4. While adding a device you can choose to allow the wizard to recognize these devices automatically (recommended) or show all of the subdevices (check 'Show all').
  5. Once you have chosen a device you will be prompted for a device name. You can also edit the name in the device list (double-click the Name in the first column of the list).
  6. Device names must be unique and should not contain any special characters. We recommend that you make it a name that will simplify recognizing the device, since only this name will be used henceforth to specify the device.
  7. If you are modifying a list, you can remove a device at any time (highlight the Name of the device and click Remove).
  8. Click Next when you are satisfied with the list of devices.
