h1. Gatan on Windows-32 

 h2. Option 1 

 If the See [[Gatan on Windows-32 with TecnaiCCD.dll]] 
 * This is only known to work for Gatan camera does not come associate with a PC separate from your FEI computer, 
 use microscopes.    For JEOL microscope, See [[Gatan on Windows-32 with TecnaiCCD.dll|tecnaiccd.dll dmsem]] 

 h2. Extra Package and Installation 

 |_.program/package|_.notes| 
 |TecnaiCCD.dll |(Should come with Tecnai, and other newer TEMs from FEI]]. the microscope).| 

 {{include(comtypes installer)}} 

 h3. Register TecnaiCCD.dll    (It may have been registered already) 

 *    From the command prompt, run the following commands.    You may need to enter the full path of the dll: 
 <pre>REGSVR32 TecnaiCCD.dll</pre> 

 h2. Option 2 instruments.cfg 

 <pre> 
 [camera] 
 class: gatan.Gatan 
 zplane: 50 
 height: 4096 
 width: 4096 
 </pre> 

 * height and width depend on your specific camera 
 see [[instrumentscfg_for_22|instruments.cfg z plane configuration]] for more explanation. 

 If you already installed SerialEM or if the have more than one camera computer is separated from controlled through DM, you need to find its id and use class gatan.Gatan0 and gatan.Gatan1 etc in the scope computer, SEMCCD.dll created by SerialEM developer configuration to distinguish them and assign different zplanes so the higher ones can be used instead retract when the lower one is asked to acquire image.    see #2201 for history of tecnaiccd.dll. this issue 

 See [[Gatan on Windows-32 h2. Setup 

 * Set camera configuration to give the [[Leginon Image Orientation|standard Leginon orientation]]. 
 * Set the [[Low_dose_shutter_configuration_for_Gatan_camera_in_Digital_Micrograph_program|shutter configuration in DM]] to protect the specimen when camera is not taking images 

 h2. Testing with dmsem]] pyscope 

 In python command 
 <pre> 
 from pyscope import gatan 
 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: Digital Micrograph
