h1. Minimum Requirements and current NRAMM setup 




 *Recommendation is based on the current NRAMM setup 



 h2. Electron Microscope with its Controling Computer (Windows) 



 FEI Tecnai 12 with Scripting SW, network connected see [[Network Configuration]], and the ability to install software 
 on it 





 h2. CCD 



 Gatan,    Tietz, Eagle-minimal 1kx1k; NRAMM 4kx4k 





 h2. A Second Computer (Linux- CentOS at NRAMM) 




 h3. CPU

 h3. RAM 



 Minimal 1 GB physical memory and 1GB swap but it will be painfully slow for 4kx4k images and MSI applications; Need more if using Windows than Unix OS; NRAMM had 4GB physical memory and 2 GB for years, and now at 6GB and 6GB, respectively. 2GB 
 swap 





 h3. Hard drive 



 10 GB for the softwares and maybe a few hours worth of data collection. Much larger 
 for routine use. NRAMM 15Tb and growing 





 h3. Network connection speed 

 



 100 Mbps; NRAMM 1 Gbps 

 







 h2. Leginon system components developed at Leginon home 

 



 Leginon Home:    "http://www.leginon.org/":http://www.leginon.org/ 

 





 h2. Supporting packages and programs available through internet or your Linux distribution 

 



 There are minimum of ten packages or single programs, some of them are included in your 
 Linux distribution. 







 h2. Leginon supporting programs available upon request 



 adaexp.exe that is required if film exposure is to be made through Leginon on FEI Tecnai 
 machines is available by request. Please contact Max Otten: <email>mto@nl.feico.com</email> 
 and let him know what version of the Tecnai user interface you are using.
