sutterMP285

A class for instrument control of a Sutter MP-285 micromanipulator.

You are now following this Submission

This is a class definition file for working with a MP-285 micromanipulator from Sutter Instruments. The MP-285 uses serial port communication for computer control, and this class implements the basic functions for using the device, including commanding stage position, querying stage position, setting movement velocity, etc. Details and examples are given in the help file. A sample application is included.
Notes:
If you are using a computer without a serial port, you will need a USB-to-serial adaptor.
This was developed using a Mac with a USB-to-serial adaptor, but it should work on all platforms.
