Hm, that's curious. MM2.0 should have exactly the same hardware control
logic as MM1.4; the changes in 2.0 have been entirely in the Java layer, to
update our user interface and data handling. If there's been a change in
hardware support, then we need to track it down.

Unfortunately it looks like your config file attachment didn't make it
through. Perhaps you could upload it to a "pastebin" site, like
http://pastebin.com/ , and then share the link with us? It would also be
great if you could generate a Problem Report. Problem Reports include a
detailed breakdown of what the software is doing at any moment, and are
invaluable for debugging issues like these. Go to the Help menu, select
"Report Problem", and then click "Generate Report" in the dialog. Then run
µManager as usual until it crashes. Once it crashes, restart it, and select
the "Reopen" option in the dialog that pops up. Finally, click the "View
Report" button, copy the contents, and share them with us.

The Pause Acquisition button has been available in 1.4 for some time now.
What version of 1.4 were you using previously?
