112 12 Anchi Cheng
113 60 Anchi Cheng
h2. Run updatecom.py
114 1 Amber Herold
115 33 Jim Pulokas
From a command line window:
116
117
<pre>cd C:\python25\Lib\Site-Packages\pyScope
118
C:\python25\python.exe updatecom.py</pre>
119
120
The python window appears should say show the required type libraries it found:
121
<pre>
122
Generating .py files from type libraries...
123
initializing TEM Scripting Error, cannot find typelib for "TEM Scripting"
124
initializing Tecnai Scripting done.
125
initializing TOM Moniker done.
126
initializing Tecnai Low Dose Kit done.
127
initializing Tecnai Exposure Adaptor done.
128
129
initializing Tietz CCD Camera done.
130
</pre>
131
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".
132
133 1 Amber Herold
You will only find Tecnai Exposure Adaptor (Scripting for film exposure) if you ask FEI for it.
134
135
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

138 1 Amber Herold
139 60 Anchi Cheng
# go to C:\\python25\Lib\Site-Packages\leginon
140
# run configcheck.py
141
142 61 Anchi Cheng
The script gives the three search directories of the cfg files and the loaded file if present.  Note the first search directory that with a name start with *C:\\Programs*.  This is the *global configuration directory* we will use next
143 60 Anchi Cheng
144
h2. Configure leginon.cfg:
145
146 40 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 below.
147

175
 <pre>C:\Programs\myami\instruments.cfg</pre>
176 60 Anchi Cheng
177 1 Amber Herold
* Remove the Sim Tem and Sim Cam modules in the configuration.
178
179 61 Anchi Cheng
* Add the modules for your microscope and camera. 
180
** If you have Direct Electron camera DE12, your camera module.class is de.DE12
181
** If your microscope uses Tecnai Scripting Interface, youe scope module.class is tecnai.Tecnai
182
** If you have a Gatan camera that you interface through DigitalMicrograph, your camera module.class is gatan.Gatan
183 62 Anchi Cheng
** If you have a Tietz camera, there are several choices for the "class" field.  Run the tietztest.py script that comes in pyscope to tell you your available options.

h2. Additional setup on Tietz cameras
190 1 Amber Herold
191 42 Anchi Cheng
Register the Tietz ping callback function.  From a command line window:
192 29 Jim Pulokas
193 1 Amber Herold
<pre>cd C:\python25\Lib\Site-Packages\pyscope
194
C:\python25\python.exe tietzping.py</pre>
195 57 Jim Pulokas
196 1 Amber Herold
Troubleshooting Tietz cameras:
197 57 Jim Pulokas
198
When Leginon initializes the camera, a program called CAMC4 should start automatically in the backgound.  This is confirmed by the little camera icon showing up in the system tray in the lower right of the screen.  Also, task manager can be started to confirm CAMC4 is running.  Sometimes problems occur if more than one CAMC4 is running at the same time, so task manager will help identify this.
199
200
CAMC4 has its own configuration file "CAMC.ini" that will normally be set up already, but you can search for it on your computer and confirm that everything looks right.  It will have configuration parameters for several cameras and only one of them will be activated.  The only parameter that may need some adjustment is the readout geometry, which affects the rotation and mirror of the image.
201
202
If Leginon is not initializing the camera or not getting proper images, you should first test image acquisition using TVIPS software to make sure it is not a hardware issue.  Use TCL or there is a test program called TestMFCCamera that can acquire an image and test the CAMC4 operation.

211 11 Anchi Cheng
This instruction applies to Windows XP.
212 1 Amber Herold
213
214
 * Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ and create a new
215 11 Anchi Cheng
folder named Leginon.
216
217 1 Amber Herold
218

h2. Mapping Drives (Optional):
231 11 Anchi Cheng
232 40 Anchi Cheng
Although we don't recommend it, it is possible to run minimal Leginon directly on the Windows machine,  Since the database and web servers are not there, you probably will be saving the images through a Samba server on a network drive also available to the Linux machine.  If you do so, 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/.
233 11 Anchi Cheng
234
*  Start, My Computer
235
236
237
*  Tools menu, Map network drive
238
239
240
*  Use an unmapped drive such as Z:

242 12 Anchi Cheng
 Enter shared path in Windows format as
243 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre>\\your_smbserver\your_share_point</pre>
244
245
246 12 Anchi Cheng
*  Add the drive and the Linux path to leginon.cfg on the Windows machine as
247 11 Anchi Cheng
 <pre>[Drive Mapping]
248
Z:/your_data_path</pre>
249
250
251 12 Anchi Cheng
*  Add image path to leginon.cfg on the Windows machine in Linux format as
