Hi Paul,

> I have also been trying to control an IX81 with almost the identical hardware to Bernhard (Prior stage, ZDC etc) using Micromanager. However, I have been unable to get our computer (and Micromanager) to successfully talk with the Olympus control box via the serial port. I suspect the serial port settings. If anyone has done this successfully, can you please let me/us know what settings you used or what has worked best.

It can be challenging to get hardware to cooperate!  However, there are many labs that are using Micro-Manager to operate an Olympus IX81.  If you still have trouble after increasing the serial port timeout as suggested by Johan, please use the menu entry "Help"->"Report a Problem".  This will give me a chance to figure out what is going on and help you make it work.  

Also, the Micro-Manager mailing list ( https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/micro-manager-general ) may be a more useful forum for issues such as these. 

Best,

Nico
