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