Falcon raw frame saving¶

Falcon II base frame (the frame defined by the camera rolling shutter) rate is ~ 18 frames per second. Frame number 0 that started readout as the beam shutter is open is usually discarded. In fact the exposure time input in TUI starts at frame 1.

For raw frame saving using FEI's software, the midpoint time of the starting and ending frames to be included in saved frame bin is defined by an xml file on Titan as

C:\Titan\Data\Falcon\IntermediateConfig.xml

To adjust the way the frames are saved, this file needs to be configured.

Leginon handles this configuration file modification required for each image acquisition. However, if you need to generate your own, you can make a copy of the python script in myami/pyscope/falconframe.py and run it alone.
