+Installation instructions:
+
+1. Download Anaconda 32 bit (Python 2.7):
+
+    Download from: http://continuum.io/downloads
+
+2. Install pyvisa:
+
+    In a command prompt, run
+        pip install pyvisa
+
+3. Install wxpython 32 bit for Python 2.7:
+
+    Download from: http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
+
+4. Install comtypes
+
+    In a command prompt, run
+        pip install comtypes
+
+Instructions for running the GUI software:
+
+Option 1: To run from within Spyder, add the pyOptomip folder to the PYTHONPATH. Then, run the pyOptomip.pyw script.
+
+Option 2: To run as a standalone application, set the file association so that pyOptomip.pyw opens with pythonw.exe (found in C:\Anaconda). This
+is the preferred way of running the program.
+
+Instrument connection instructions:
+
+To connect the instruments, first select the instrument you want to connect from the top dropdown menu. Then select the address (GPIP, serial etc.)
+and enter the other parameters for the instrument. Press connect to initiate a connection to the instruments. The instruments can be connected in any
+order.
+
+Specific instructions for connecting each instrument:
+
+Laser: hp816x
+Select the GPIB address for the laser in the "GPIB address" combo box, then press connect.
+
+Laser: hp816x_N77Det
+Select the GPIB address for the 816x mainframe in the "Mainframe Address" combo box, then select the USB or GPIB VISA address for the N77xx detector in the
+"Detector Address" combo box. Push connect in order to connect to both the mainframe and the detector.
+
+Stage: Corvus Eco
+Select the serial port that the stage is connected to using the "Serial Port" combo box. For example, if the stage is connected to serial port COM3, the VISA
+address will be "ASRL3::INSTR". Then, enter the number of axes that your setup uses. If your stage uses three axes (i.e. x, y, and z for moving the fiber array
+up and down), enter 3 into the "Number of Axis" box. If your setup only uses two axes (i.e., only x ad y), then enter 2. Finally, push connect in order to connect
+to the stages.
+
+Stage: Thorlabs BBD203
+Enter the serial number for each of the stages, then push connect. A window will pop up with motor controls. Do not close this window.
+
+Known issues:
+
+When using hp816x_N77Det, if there are any detectors plugged into the 8163 or 8164 mainframe, the detectors listed on the Instrument Control 
+window will not correspond to the labels on the detectors. This can cause unexpected sweep measurement results. The workaround is to unplug 
+all detectors from the mainframe when using the N77xx detectors.
+
+When not using the N77xx detector, if there is a detector plugged into the mainframe which stores less than 20001 datapoints (e.g. 81634A),
+then stitching will not work.
