h1. Falcon-Orius Combination Installation Notes 

 h2. Install 32 bit versions of the usual Python stuff at python 2.7 

 h2. Instruments.cfg 

 <pre> 
 [Falcon Camera] 
 class:tia.TIA_Falcon 
 zplane: 50 
 width: 4096 
 height: 4096 

 [Orius] 
 class:gatan.Gatan() 
 zplane:49 
 width: 2048 
 height: 2048 
 </pre> 

 * Note that the class name for Gatan DM controlled camera depends on the number of cameras.    Ask us if you have more than one and need to find out which is which. 

 h2. Setup 

 * Set camera configuration to give the [[Leginon Image Orientation|standard Leginon orientation]]. 

 h2. Testing with pyscope 

 h2. Trouble shooting ( DO these tests on the camera computer): 

 h3. For Falcon camera: 

 In python command 
 <pre> 
 form pyscope import tia 
 g = tia.TIA_Falcon() 
 g.setExposureTime(200) 
 g.getImage() 
 </pre> 

 You should get a bunch of numbers in a numpy array.    Also, a window should show up in TIA's acquisition gui with the name pyscope 

 h3. For Orius (controlled through Gatan DM: 

 In python command 
 <pre> 
 form pyscope import tia 
 g = gatan.Gatan() 
 g.setExposureTime(200) 
 g.getImage() 
 </pre> 

 You should get a bunch of numbers in a numpy array. 


 h2. Programs to open before Leginon Client: Gatan DiM and TIA.
