Gatan Rio configuration settings
Added by Michael Cianfrocco over 5 years ago
Hi Anchi,
We are replacing our dying Gatan US4000 with a Gatan Rio detector on our T12:

For changing over our camera configuration parameters for leginon, do you have any recommendations other than making sure the dimensions are correct?
Thank you,
Mike

We use dmsem.py and David Mastronarde's SEMCCD.dll under all Gatan cameras now. You should be able to switch easily as the call from our side is the same. You can add GatanRio class in dmsem.py based on GatanUltraScan, or give me the specs and I will update dmsem.py with it included.

I see that Rio has drift correction capacity. If you want to use that, let me know. I will investigate how we can call it from our end.

Hi Anchi,
I am working with Mike on setting up the Rio with Leginon. I think we should give you the specs and let you decide if you need to update dmsem.py. To that end, what specs and information would you like or require?

For basic functions, I need the dimension, the binnings that is allowed to call for. If the dimension is not multiple of the binning, I need to know if it floors the result of the division to get the binned image dimension.
If it has advanced functions that you would like to include. also let me know.

Hi Anchi,
We have a Gatan Rio 9. The dimensions are 3072 x 3072. According to the documentation you can use binning of x1 (3072 x 3072) and x2 (1536 x 1536). Are there any Python scripts you need me to run to provide the necessary information?

I created the feature #7718 and the class in myami-trunk. There is documentation in the redmine issue for configuration. Please give it a try.
