Hi Mark, thank you for the prompt response.

>Do you have any software from Nikon that can control the NI-SH-CON?
Yes, I do. It works fine with the NIS-Elements D v4.11.00.

>What is the error message you get when you try to add the TIScope device?
>It might also help to look at what gets logged in the CoreLog file.
MM says "Error in device TIScope: There is no available Ti microscope."
I do use MM 1.4.15, and the latest Nikon drivers (v. 2.0.5.1).
Nikon Ti SDK 4.4.1.714 is also installed.
In the Windows' Device Manager, the shutter appears under Imaging Devices
as "Nikon USB Microscope" and is operating normally. The driver version is
2.0.5.1.

And here is the log:

I tried installing the Nikon TiControl software. Installation went fine,
but when I tried to execute TiControl, a similar error message saying that
no microscope can be found appears, and the software crashes.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks, Hideaki
