AutoIt program, script compilation and testing¶
Download AutoIt Scripting program on microscope computer¶
see https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/
Compile *.au3 files¶
These are found in your_myami/pyscope/autoit/. Right-click on the file icon should allow you to compile. Place the resulting exe files at a common place, for example, C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\ and remember its location to be added to fei.cfg
Add the locations of the exe files to fei.cfg of your leginon installation if you have not done so.¶
- make a copy of your_myami/pyscope/fei.cfg.template and call it fei_temp.cfg
- compare fei_temp.cfg with your current fei.cfg used for leginon and modify fei_temp.cfg according to your current configuration.
- find the entries related to AUTOIT and fill in the location of your autoit exe files.
Testing¶
Beamstop¶
- You can double click on BeamstopIn.exe and Beamstopout.exe to see if it does what it should be doing.
TUIAcquire¶
- Go to TUI interface and CCD/TV Camera panel.
- Select BM-Ceta
- Double click on TuiAcquire.exe to execute. This is most likely to fail in some of the validation steps. Make correction to these settings and try again.
- When all validations are passed, you should see TIA starts acquiring movie series using Acquire preset of the CCD/TV Camera panel.
- Double click on TuiAcquire.exe again to stop movie series acquisition.
TiaExportSeries¶
- Select TEM Imaging & Analysis (TIA) Window that has the series movie acquired from TuiAcquire.exe test above.
- Make sure Export Series Shortcut is expanded like in this screenshot
- Double click TiaExportSeries.exe
You should see the cursor moving to the shortcut, click it and going through the export process. The script should save the series as C:\Users\supervisor\Documents\FEI\TIA\Exported Data\test_t_*.bin
AutoIt Script clicks Export Series shortcut icon at a relative position to the corner of the window. If you observe that the position is off, please edit the script at the line
Local $aExportPos[2] = [47, 273]
You can use AutoIt Window Info (part of AutoIt program installation) to find the coordinates that needs to replace 47, 273 (col, row).
