109 11 Anchi Cheng
h2.  Configure leginon.cfg:
110
111 12 Anchi Cheng
Follow the instructions in [[Configure leginon.cfg|Configure leginon.cfg]] located in the section for Linux installation but note the location of the configuration files follows. In addition, if the storage disk is mapped onto the Windows PC as drive Z, this mapping should be included in leginon.cfg. See above.
112 1 Amber Herold
113
* Configurations for all users
114 11 Anchi Cheng
115 1 Amber Herold
 <pre> <Python directory>\Lib\site-packages\Leginon\config\leginon.cfg</pre>
116 11 Anchi Cheng
117 1 Amber Herold
 Example:
118 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre> C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Leginon\config\leginon.cfg</pre>
119
120 1 Amber Herold
121 11 Anchi Cheng
* Configurations for individual users
122 1 Amber Herold
123 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre> <Home directory>\leginon.cfg</pre>
124
125 1 Amber Herold
 Example:
126
 <pre> C:\Documents and Settings\Leginon User\leginon.cfg </pre>
127 10 Anchi Cheng
128 11 Anchi Cheng
129 1 Amber Herold
* A skeleton (default) configuration file is available:
130 11 Anchi Cheng
131 1 Amber Herold
 <pre> C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Leginon\config\default.cfg</pre>
132
133 11 Anchi Cheng
134
h2.  Configure sinedon.cfg:
135 1 Amber Herold
136 12 Anchi Cheng
Follow instruction in [[Configure sinedon.cfg]] in the section for Linux installation but note the location of the configuration files follows.
137 11 Anchi Cheng
138
139 1 Amber Herold
 * For all users, put sinedon.cfg with the installed package as
140
 <pre>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\sinedon\sinedon.cfg</pre>
141 11 Anchi Cheng
142
143 1 Amber Herold
 * Your home directory on Windows:
144
 <pre>C:\Documents and Settings\your_name></pre>
145 11 Anchi Cheng
146
147 1 Amber Herold
 * the skeleton sinedon configuration file is
148
 <pre>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\sinedon\examples\sinedon.cfg</pre>
149
150
h2. Modify instruments.cfg:
151
152 12 Anchi Cheng
* Modify the file instruments.cfg in the installed pyScope directory to that for your microscope and camera. For example, if your microscope uses Tecnai Scripting Interface and you have a Gatan camera that you interface through DigitalMicrograph:
153 1 Amber Herold
154
<pre>[tem]
155 10 Anchi Cheng
class: tecnai.Tecnai
156
[camera]
157
class: gatan.Gatan</pre>
158 1 Amber Herold
159 10 Anchi Cheng
The file contains other examples of microscope and camera drivers that we distribute from NRAMM.
160
161
h2. Run updatecom.py
162
163
From a command line window:
164 1 Amber Herold
165 10 Anchi Cheng
<pre>cd C:\python25\Lib\Site-Packages\pyScope
166
C:\python25\python.exe updatecom.py</pre>
167
168
The python window appears should say show the required type libraries it found:
169 1 Amber Herold
<pre>
170
Generating .py files from type libraries...
171
initializing TEM Scripting Error, cannot find typelib for "TEM Scripting"
172
initializing Tecnai Scripting done.
173
initializing TOM Moniker done.
174
initializing Tecnai Low Dose Kit done.
175
initializing Tecnai Exposure Adaptor done.
176
177
initializing Tietz CCD Camera done.
178
</pre>
179
The output is of course depending on what is available on your microscope computer.  You should have either "Tecnai Scripting" or the pairing of  "TEM Scripting" and "TOM Moniker".
180
181
The script should generate a few files in C:\\python25\Lib\win32com\gen_py with seemly scrambled names such as BC0A2B03-19FF-11D3-AE00-00A024CBA50Cx0x1x9.py
182
183
184
h2. Additional setup on Tietz PXL camera (optional)
185
186
187 12 Anchi Cheng
The actual Tietz PXL camera dimension is slightly larger than 2048 x 2048. If you'd like to take the images using the maximum of 2048 x 2048 pixels, you may modify the function that get camera dimension in tietz.py of pyScope package.
188 1 Amber Herold
189
190
*  Go to C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyScope\
191
192
193
*  Edit tietz.py with a plain text editor
194
195
196
*  Find the lines:
197
198
<pre> def getCameraSize(self):
199
# {'type': dict, 'values': {'x': {'type': int}, 'y': {'type': int}}}}
200
x = self._getParameterValue('cpTotalDimensionX')
201
y = self._getParameterValue('cpTotalDimensionY')
202
return {'x': x, 'y': y}
203
</pre>
204
205
*  Change the last line to:
206
207 11 Anchi Cheng
<pre>    return {'x': 2048, 'y': 2048}</pre>
208 1 Amber Herold
209 11 Anchi Cheng
h2.  Create Leginon and Leginon Client shortcut in Start menu menu under Leginon
210 1 Amber Herold
211
212
This instruction applies to Windows XP.
213 11 Anchi Cheng
214 1 Amber Herold
215
 * Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ and create a new
216
folder named Leginon.
217 11 Anchi Cheng
218
219 1 Amber Herold
 * In another window, go to
220
 <pre>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\leginon</pre>
221 11 Anchi Cheng
222
223
 * Create a shortcut from start-leginon.py as Leginon and a shortcut from launcher.py as Leginon Client.
224
225 1 Amber Herold
226 11 Anchi Cheng
 * Move the two shortcuts into
227
 <pre>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Leginon</pre>
228
229
230
231
h2.  Mapping Drives:
232
233
If you plan to run Leginon directly on the Windows machine, and your data files are served through a Samba server on a Linux machine, you will need to map the network drive. For example, if your Samba server has a hostname your_smbserver, and you have set up a share called [your_share_point] which points to /your_data_path/ and leginon data will be saved under a folder in /your_data_path/leginon/.
234
235
*  Start, My Computer
236
237
238
*  Tools menu, Map network drive
239
240
241
*  Use an unmapped drive such as Z:
242
243 12 Anchi Cheng
 Enter shared path in Windows format as
244 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre>\\your_smbserver\your_share_point</pre>
245
246
247 12 Anchi Cheng
*  Add the drive and the Linux path to leginon.cfg on the Windows machine as
248 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre>[Drive Mapping]
249
Z:/your_data_path</pre>
250
251
252 12 Anchi Cheng
*  Add image path to leginon.cfg on the Windows machine in Linux format as
253 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre>[Images]
254
path:/your_data_path/leginon</pre>
255
256
257
h2.  Additional Software (Optional):
