Thanks to David Mastronarde for providing his DM plug-in using socket connection 
 
 h2. Note:    If you have SerialEM installed on the same computer, you don't have to go through install this.    The same Plugin can be used by both programs and share the same port 

 h3. Clean up For your older SEMCCDxxxx.dll in convenience, these are taken from SerialEM download site: http://bio3d.colorado.edu/ftp/SerialEM/    C:\Program File\Gatan\Plugins if Please match it with your Digital Micrograph version.    If you had it from prevous leginon-only installtion have SerialEM installed, this is included. 

 h3. Download and extract the files {{include(SerialEM_SEMCCD-GMS_plugins)}} 

 1. From your browser, go Copy it to [[ https://bio3d.colorado.edu/ftp/SerialEM/FrameAlignment/]] 
 2. Choose Shrmemframe*..exe for your version of DM to download to your Gatan PC. 
 3. Run the downloaded file and follow its instructions. C:\ProgramData\Gatan\Plugins\ 

 *If you had SEMCCDxxxx.dll in C:\Program File\Gatan\Plugins, you should remove it* 

 Add a new environment variable SERIALEMCCD_PORT if not exist already from SerialEM installation.    Set the value to an unused port between 50000 and 60000 to avoid conflict with other programs. Avoid ports    [[Ports_used_by_Leginon| used by Leginon]], especially not 55555. 

 Port 50000 or 50001 usually works.
