Request: Position in Device Property Browser

[Rory-Power]

Thanks for putting this together. I have tested it in MM2 with a Thorlabs MTS50/M-Z DC motorized stage, which is working nicely using the Stage Control. I would like to be able to interact with the device through the Device Property Browser as I am using an EMU UI that allows one to assign Device Properties to UI controls. Would this be possible to implement? Many thanks in advance.

I think this should be possible, although making it a slider in the Device Property Browser will require that we can obtain fixed position limits (otherwise, it will just be a numeric text field). I'll have to check what information Kinesis offers (or alternatively make it a user-configurable thing like I had to do with the units per mm setting).

[Rory-Power]

Sounds good. Having user configurable limits would be fine if Kinesis does not provide enough information. Thanks!

Hi Mark, thanks for this code, it works really nicely. I am controlling a filterwheel with it, and I was wondering if you had the occasion to look at the Device Property Browser issue? Even a user-input based on device units would be great as then I could use that to define color channels for micromanager

With the help of a friend, we modified it to have a numerical property visible, for use in channels and scripting: https://github.com/Vanwalleghem/mmdev-ThorlabsKinesis
