Special Instructions for FEI Eagle Camera¶

This only applies to 2.2 version. For trunk or newer installation, comtypes replaces this. See Installing comtypes¶

We are still in the process of adapting the comarray package to work with the FEI Eagle cameras. The pre-packaged comarray EXE installer that we provide here will not work, so you will need to download comarray from our SVN repository and do a manual installation of the python module to your python site-packages. Here is the procedure:

Check out comarray to your local sandbox on a linux system like this:

 svn co http://emg.nysbc.org/svn/myami/trunk/comarray

Then copy it to your Windows system that hosts the camera. Or just check it out directly to the Windows system using a Windows SVN client.

Now browse through the files in your new comarray sandbox. You will find a folder "py2.5". In there you will find a few files including:

 __init__.py
 NumpySafeArraySlow.py
 NumpySafeArray.pyd
 NumpySafeArrayTIA.pyd
 setup.py

Make a new folder C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\comarray\

Copy "__init__.py" and "NumpySafeArrayTIA.pyd" to the new site-packages/comarray folder.

In the site-packages/comarray folder, rename NumpySafeArrayTIA.pyd to NumpySafeArray.pyd
