Re: [micro-manager-general] Problem with serial Port communication

[Simon M. <si...@p-...>]

Hi Nico
Thank you very much for your fast reply. Because I don't have a clue about uManager can you tell me more into detail where I can find this settings in Hardware Configuration Wizard and also how can I find this configuration file?
Regarding Bluebox Niji I don't have complains for the moment. Is working as expected. But what can Niji do here tricky? Let me know.
Best regards
Simon
