Specifics of N2_Filling
Added by Colin Deniston over 5 years ago
Hello,
I have a unique question about N2_Filling in Leginon. We are experiencing a bug on our K2 camera that sometimes leads it to freeze up when dark references are taken. As a consequence I have noticed that when Leginon re-fills the nitrogen it sends a request to our K2 to take a new dark reference. This causes the camera to freeze and ultimately the whole run to wait indefinitely until a user comes in and resolves the issue. Is there a way to turn off the dark reference auto request function in Leginon? I cannot find anything in the N2_Filling node. Thanks!

Hi, Colin,
If you plan to disable this, please make sure you do remember to take this hardware dark reference every day manually. This is the most important
reference to take on K2/K3.
If you are on myami-beta, there are settings you can restrict the hours in which to perform this dark current reference collection in N2_Filling node.
If you are on 3.4 or older releases, you will have do this by commenting out your leginon code. In leginon/conditioner.py, look for
self.runCameraDarkCurrentReferenceUpdate()
and comment it out like this:
#self.runCameraDarkCurrentReferenceUpdate()
