Did you install the DCAM API as well as the Hamamatsu driver for the
camera? It is a while ago I did this on Windows, but I remember that
there was a straight-forward installer for the DCAM-API. Installing
the driver was a bit less straight forward, since Windows seems to
think that its own driver is more appropriate than the Hamamatsu one,
and it was needed to specifically point to the Hamamatsu driver
during driver installation. Please make sure that the Hamamatsu
driver (and not the Microsoft one) is used for the camera. It is not
needed to copy the file DCMA-API.dll to the Micro-Manager directory.
In any case, please make sure that the DCAM API is installed
correctly and working with the camera. If it isn't, there is no way
that Micro-Manager can operate the camera. If it is, your camera is
very likely to work with Micro-Manager.
It is probably best to continue this thread on the Micro-Manager
mailing list (
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/micro-
manager-general) to which I cross-posted. There is also a bit more
information on the Micro-Manager wiki (
http://valelab.ucsf.edu/~nico/
MMwiki/index.php/Hamamatsu).
Best,
Nico
