I saw a demo of the new TCS software about 12 months ago. It started up in about
3 seconds - a little different from the 4-5 minutes it normally takes, however
it wasn't connected to a microscope. We have been told the software will be
available in the next month or two although I suspect it may be more like
mid-year if they are being extra careful to remove all the bugs.
