Re: [micro-manager-general] SPOT insight color camera

Thanks Nico! I talked to them, and they are saying there is no 
release date for that SDK.  The  support person I talked to assumed 
that what is needed is 64-bit operating system support, but is this 
indeed what you need to get spot to work on  Windows?  I would like 
to be as informed as possible since the the person responsible for 
the SDK release is supposed to contact me.

Thanks for your help!
