_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:
<pre> def getCameraSize(self):
return {'x': 2048, 'y': 2048}</pre>
