time limit for drift manager
Added by Anonymous over 15 years ago
Dear all, we observed a few times now that leginon got stuck, because the drift manager was measuring drift for ever on a broken mesh. It also happened a few times that due to a bad exposure targeting the focus position was accidently set inside the hole (well, exposure targeting sometimes fails due to contamination on a grid). The beam burned through the ice and the thin carbon film and thus the drift manager tries to measure drift for ever on a blank, featureless image. I such cases it would be nice to skip the current target and continue with next one after a certain amount of time, lets say 5 minutes. Is there an option to set a time limit for the drift manager?
Cheers
Thorsten

Hi, Thorsten,
This feature you want is in Leginon 1.6 It is a user setting in Drift Manager.
