h1. New User Features 3.0 

 h2. [[Gatan Gatan K2 Summit support]] support 

  * Acquire summed frame counted, super-resolution, or linear mode image thru Leginon 
  * Trigger raw frame saving 
  * [[DDD_raw_frame_file_transfer|Transfer raw frame images off hard drive of K2 during data collection to a network drive]]. 
  * [[appion:GainDark_correction_of_the_raw_frame_with_or_without_drift_correction|Compile gain corrected movie stack thru Appion]] 

 h2. [[appion:Direct_Detector_Frame_Processing|Direct Detector Frame alignment (Appion) (K2 or DE)]] 

  * Parallel gpu processing using program from "Li et. al. Nature Methods (2013)":http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1038/nmeth.2472. 

 h2. Microcondenser mode setting in presets manager 

 h2. Target Navigation: 

 # Option of using parent image move type to move to target during target adjustment. 
 ** This improves the targeting accuracy and minimize image-shift-induced beam-tilt in image-shifted final exposure if queuing is used in Exposure Targeting and Navigator iterative move is used in acquiring its parent image. 
 ** Activate it at /Leginon/Exposure/Settings/Advanced Settings:    Use ancestor image mover in adjustment 

 h2. Automatic Target Finding: 

 # Limit number of focusing performed on a series of images. 
 ** For example, focus once every 5 hl images that processed by Exposure Targeting node. 
 ** Iterator is reset at new parent so that hl image from a new square will always be focused. 
 ** Activate at /Leginon/Exposure Targeting/Settings/Advanced Settings/Hole Finder(or Raster Finder) Settings: Focus every nnn image.    Default=1 meaning no skipping. 
 # Option to threshold very low intensity part of the image (grid bar or thick contaminant before template correlation in JAHCFinder used in MSI-T application 
 ** This has the effect of reducing false-positive in template-based hole finding. 
 ** Enter the threshold value at /Leginon/Exposure(or Hole) Targeting/Template Correlation Settings: Fill image values below n with mean before correlation. 

 h2. Focusing 

 # Repeat same beam-tilt-based focusing step with the exactly same setting except not to drift checking will improve the focusing when the first adjustment is large 
 ** The first focusing step brings the defocus close to the range ideal for the algorithm for the repeat. 
 ** A bug fix makes this approach reliable and is recommended if defocus is really critical and speed of data acquisition does not out-weight it. 

 h2.    RCT Acquisition: 

 # Tilt Test Tool !http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/alpha.png! 
 ** Usage: For testing if the grid bars will block the intended targets when tilted. 
 **# Send the preset using for defining the RCT targets to scope with Presets Manager. 
 **# Each click of the Tilt Test Tool will take the goniometer to the next tilt defined in RCT settings and acquire an image.
