## Platform Notes
65+
66+
### Sensapex
67+
68+
Ephys Link supports both uMp-3 and uMp-4 and will automatically detect which platform you are using. Currently, Ephys
69+
Link only supports connecting to rigs that use all uMp-3 or uMp-4 manipulators (not both simultaneously). This will be
70+
determined by the first manipulator Ephys Link connects with in a rig. Ephys Link will close if it detects both types.
71+
72+
### New Scale
73+
74+
Pathfinder MPM is New Scale's control software and Ephys Link communicates with it instead of
75+
directly with manipulators. Ensure your New Scale manipulators are properly configured with Pathfinder MPM before
76+
starting Ephys Link.
