Description
A feature that works only if the aperture is automated, of course.
- Target version changed from Appion/Leginon 3.4 to Appion/Leginon Future Version
Most versions of FEI software have the auto aperture scripting function disabled. Need to wait for that.
revision 88d37600 belongs to this issue and was tested.
This AutoIt feature works only with Talos or Titan interfaces.
To use
1. Compile pyscope/autoit/ApertureSelection.au3
2. Add the full path of the compiled exe files in fei.cfg as well as other information. Here is an example on a Krios with Auto C3 aperture.
[aperture]
# Disable control of auto apertures if not working or not available
# not all versions of microscope software allows auto aperture control
# from scripting level.
USE_AUTO_APERTURE = True
# AutoIt Automation
AUTOIT_APERTURE_SELECTION_EXE_PATH = c:\Users\supervisor\Desktop\MySpace\ApertureSelection.exe
# Does the Titan column has automated c3 aperture ? This affects the id of the
# gui button for AutoIt script.
HAS_AUTO_C3 = True
# Individual aperture selections. If retractable, add open at the end of the list
# Note: can not handle multiple apertures of the same name.
CONDENSER_2 = 150, 100, 50, 20
OBJECTIVE = 100, 70, 50, open
- Status changed from Assigned to Closed
