Leginon

h1. Run Leginon Client on the Microscope Computer

Leginon Client is run on the microscope-controlling computer (and the robot controlling computer, if applicable) so that the main Leginon program on the remote computer can launch the necessary node at the right place. For example, in order for the remote computer to get and set microscope parameters, the Instrument node need to be launched on the microscope-controlling computer.

#  insert the Gatan CCD in Digital Micrograph.

h2. Using a Tietz Camera

#  Close Tietz TCL program

 

#  Put camera switch box to select CCD.

h2. Start Leginon Client

* During Leginon run an Application Error Message may pop up saying
