Dear listers,

We need a good advice regarding OpenSPIM laser. We used the Cube, as 
recommended. And it died twice by now, after 50-60 hours of use. Talking 
with Coherent, we realized that the reason might lie on the OpenSPIM 
software. It repeatedly sends commands “power?" "power=x" at each slice, 
and this command seems to wearing out EEPROM of the cube after a million 
cycles (which is about 50 hours of continuous imaging…)

I wonder- are you familiar with this  Cube issue? How do you work around 
it? did you remove the "power?" "power=x" commands out of the OpenSpim 
software, or do you use other type of laser?

Would be grateful for any tip!

Katja
