Leginon

h1. Setup movie upload with diffrtransferpy

leginon/diffrtransfer.py is used to convert raw binary files from TIA to smv format that is more familiar to crystallography community and upload them to leginon database to be viewed through myamiweb.  This is set up similarly to rawtransfer.py that is used to transfer direct detector frame movies.

<pre>

python diffrtransfer.py

Usage: diffrtransfer.py [options]

Options:

  -h, --help                       show this help message and exit

  --source_path=PATH    Mounted parent path to transfer, e.g. --source_path=/mnt/microed

  --check_interval=CHECK_INTERVAL

                                        Seconds between checking for new data

  --no_wait                       optional flag: Catch up upload without waiting for more images to come per series

</pre>

1. Mount fei.cfg on microscope PC TIA_EXPORTED_DATA_NETWORK_DIR on your linux host where diffrtransfer.py will be run from.  This mounted point is --source_path

2. The default check_interval is 40 seconds.

3. The script needs access to the same libraries leginon needs as well as the database.  It is therefore easiest to run as root on the leginon processing host.
