Hi Christian,

1) Make sure you are using a recent nightly build of Micro-Manager
(the Picard device adapter has been in the OpenSPIM project for a
while but was added to the official Micro-Manager project just _after_
the 1.4.17 release).

https://micro-manager.org/wiki/Micro-Manager_Nightly_Builds

2) You do not need to copy the Picard DLLs (they are included in the
Micro-Manager installer) if you use a nightly build since 20140519.

Best,
Mark
