[micro-manager-general] LabVIEW C++ MM wrapper for Nikon Ti2 microscope development

[YDSie <eva...@ya...>]

Hi, folks,

I have a project need to control the Nikon Ti2 microscope via LabVIEW
software, and integrated with our lab-made program. Now, I can control the
Ti2 microscope with Micro-Manager (as Fig. 1), and try to write a C++
wrapper program as DLL file to control the Ti2 microscope. I  have already
do some survey and study the information form the Micro-Manager website
(https://micro-manager.org/), and try to figure out how to start. I also
download the latest "micromanager2" and "3rdpartypublic" Micro-Manager
Source Code (https://micro-manager.org/wiki/Micro-Manager_Source_Code).
However, still have some questions want to confirm before I start. I have
list questions as following and want to know are these concept correct or
not, thanks. 

*Q1: *
I'm try to write a C++ wrapper program as DLL file to control the Ti2 stage
as the flow chart (*LabVIEW → my dll → mmgr_dal_NikonTi2.dll(Ti2 adapter for
micro-manager) → Ti2_Mic_Driver.dll → Ti2 microscope hardware*). Is this
concept right?

*Q2: *
As shown in Fig. 2, can I write the C++ wrapper project only base on  these
two folders, "MMCore" and "MMDevice", in micromanager2 source code, thanks?

*Q3: *
Based on last question, I only found this website
"https://valelab4.ucsf.edu/~MM/doc/MMCore/html/annotated.html" to illustrate
the above ".cpp" and ".h" files. Is there have any way can find more
information, thanks? 

*Q4: *
As shown in Fig. 3. I also can load the "mmgr_dal_NikonTi2.dll(Ti2 adapter
for micro-manager, I guess)" into LabVIEW. Is these means it's feasible to
control the Ti2 directly. 

Above are some questions just want to be make sure, thanks.
