All available options for K2 are also available to K3.  You can configure the section [k2] as described in [[Gatan K2 installation and setup]].

A new section called [k3] includes K3-only settings.

For now, the default is "gain normalized".  This means the returned frame movies are dark subtracted and gain normalized.  This means the resulting data are float number.  Therefore could not be compressed efficiently.

As of today, service mode access is required from Gatan to use K3 in "dark subtracted" mode which is equivalent of the raw-frame movies in K2 counted and super-res mode.  This mode can pair with LZW tiff compression to save a lot of space.  To do so set the following:
