to communicate with manipulators used in electrophysiology experiments.

Currently, Ephys Link only supports Sensapex uMp-4 and uMp-3 Micromanipulators and New Scale 3-axis
manipulators. However, this platform is designed to be extensible to other
manipulators and more may be added in the future.
**Supported Manipulators:**

| Manufacturer | Model |
|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Sensapex | <ul> <li>uMp-4</li> <li>uMp-3</li> </ul> |
| New Scale | <ul> <li>Pathfinder MPM Control</li> <li>M3-USB-3:1-EP</li> </ul> |

Ephys Link is an open and extensible platform. It is designed to easily support integration with other manipulators.

For more information regarding the server's implementation and how the code is organized, see
the [package's development documentation](https://virtualbrainlab.org/ephys_link/development.html).
