Hi,
there as with respect to Leica "FireWire" cameras I have to admit that
these cameras use the IEEE 1394
bus for data transmit, but are NOT DCAM compatible, so they will likely not
work with any third party
software (besides via Twain). (Firewire != DCAM!!) (I.e. it does not work
with the CMU software, so it also does not work
wit Matlab for ex.)
I do not know why the responsible "marketing department" came up with that
choice, but I´m a pretty embarrassed
as I´m forced to use foreign company´s cameras for some in house research
projects!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

You should talk to Nico Stuurman (

about micro manager compatibility with this camera.
What I do know is that MM supports firewire cameras. Have a look in MM
