May be a while before I can get behind a microscope again;(  That number 
sounds a bit like an overflow (awfully close to the maximum of an 
unsigned short: 65535), and checking with the democamera (possibly using 
the fastimage=1 option to avoid generating new images all the time) 
would be very helpful to localize the problem.

Great to hear!  Spending so much time supporting MM that now and then 
hearing from people that it is actually useful helps me stay motivated 
to continue doing so;)

If possible, check with the democamera, although  external triggers are 
not an option there, and I do not know how well that code has been 
exercised with multiple cameras.


Best,
