NOTE AS OF r17234: configure width and height of camera in instruments.cfg rather than editing python code as described below. Please modify instructions below upon final release

Some Tietz camera dimensions are slightly larger than a standard size, for example, 2084 x 2084 instead of the standard 2048 x 2048. Some software will have trouble dealing with these dimensions. It is recommended to force the camera to the lower standard size (some multiple of 2^n). Modify the function that gets camera dimension in tietz.py, gatan.py, or tia.py depending on which camera you are using.

  • Go to C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyScope\
  • Edit tietz.py, gatan.py, or tia.py with a plain text editor
  • Find the function "getCameraSize" and replace its contents to force it to return a "hard coded" size. For example:
 def getCameraSize(self):
    return {'x': 2048, 'y': 2048}
