 Details about the plugin operation can be found in the manual section of this website in the [[:docs:mm_dispim_plugin_user_guide|Micro-manager diSPIM Plugin User Guide]].  **Please see that manual for information about using the plugin.**  There is also a brief overview is on [[https://micro-manager.org/wiki/ASIdiSPIM_Plugin|its Micro-manager wiki page]].
-Currently the diSPIM plugin is supported in 1.4.x only.  There have been some efforts to port it to 2.0 but don't expect the 2.0 version to work even if you can find it. As of October 2021, initial conversations are happening around making a new plugin in Micro-manager 2.0 that will supersede the diSPIM plugin and also support other use cases (including non-ASI systems), but it will be at minimum into 2022 before such a plugin is functional.  Contributions to the effort of making this new plugin are appreciated.
+Currently the diSPIM plugin is supported in 1.4.x only.  In 2023 there have been efforts to create a new plugin in Micro-Manager 2.0 called [[https://github.com/micro-manager/LightSheetManager|LightSheetManager]] that will operate the diSPIM as well as other types of light sheet microscopes.  Contributions to the effort of making this new plugin are appreciated.  As of August 2023 this is in alpha testing by the first few bleeding edge adopters, and we expect that by end of 2023 it will be ready for more adopters and a full replacement in 2024.

 ==== Scripting the plugin ====
-The Micro-Manager plugin has an API that allows most of its functionality to be accessed via Beanshell scripts run from within Micro-Manager.  This allows users to orchestrate complex acquisitions and even use the plugin for adaptive microscopy where automated image analysis guides acquisition.  The best way to see what functionality is exposed via the API is to look at the [[https://valelab4.ucsf.edu/trac/micromanager/browser/plugins/ASIdiSPIM/src/org/micromanager/asidispim/api/ASIdiSPIMInterface.java|source code of the Java interface]] which defines the API.  The API includes are methods to get and set the most commonly changed settings within the plugin, launch acquisitions, move the microscope, and more.  The API can be augmented if needed but every effort is made not to change the documented functionality.  Furthermore there is support for Java RMI which allows the plugin API to be access from a completely separate Java VM.

 Here is a bare-bones example script:

+Here is another example that runs autofocus periodically, in this case every 13 positions.
