1 | 1 | Anchi Cheng | h1. Aperture selection through tem controller |
---|---|---|---|
2 | |||
3 | This feature allows selection of aperture of TFS microscopes with automated apertures. The current implementation uses AutoIt Scripting and reads the configuration from c:\Program Files (x86)\myami\fei.cfg |
||
4 | |||
5 | h2. Setup |
||
6 | |||
7 | h3. compile autoit script |
||
8 | |||
9 | The script is pyscope/autoit/ApertureSelection.au3 |
||
10 | Use AutoIt suite to compile it. Either 32 or 64-bit version works as far as I know. |
||
11 | |||
12 | h3. Setup pyscope fei.cfg |
||
13 | |||
14 | Copy from pyscope/fei.cfg.template these lines to fei.cfg used on your scope. In standard installation, this should be "c:\Program Files (x86)\myami\fei.cfg" |
||
15 | |||
16 | Modify these settings according to your scope. |
