Leginon

h1. Tietz/TVIPS camera installation and setup

h2. Many Tietz cameras are controlled by a computer separated from the microscope

Please read [[Using_Leginon_on_a_system_where_the_microscope_and_camera_are_controlled_by_different_computers]] first.

h2. Extra Package and Installation

|_.package|local win32 installer|

|Python for Windows extension (pywin32)|"pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe":/redmine/attachments/download/2068/pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe|

*double click the windows installer to start*

|_.program/package|_.notes|

|CAMC4.exe |(Should come with the camera)|

h3. Register CAMC4.exe

*  From the command prompt, run the following commands.

<pre>CAMC4.exe /regserver</pre>

h3. Run updatecom.py

* From a command line window:

<pre>cd C:\python27\Lib\site-packages\pyscope

C:\python27\python.exe updatecom.py</pre>

* The output sould contain this output

<pre>

initializing Tietz CCD Camera

Found: CAMC4 1.0 Type Library

done.

</pre>

You can ignore error messages regarding other com modules.

h3. Register the Tietz ping callback function

* From a command line window:

<pre>cd C:\python27\Lib\site-packages\pyscope

C:\python27\python.exe tietzping.py</pre>

h2. check camc.ini

{{include(CAMC_ini_setup)}}

h2. instruments.cfg

This is extracted from pyscope/instruments.cfg.template

<pre>

## Tietz/TVIPS Camera using various drivers.  Chose only the driver

## that works with your camera.  Optionally, you may also select

## the Simulation camera.  A test script is available to help you figure

## out which ones are available to you.  Run the script:  tietztest.py

##   - tietz.TietzSCX

##   - tietz.TietzPXL

##   - tietz.TietzPVCam

##   - tietz.TietzFC415

##   - tietz.TietzFC416

##   - tietz.TietzFC816

##   - tietz.TietzFastScan

##   - tietz.TietzSimulation

</pre>

For example, instruments.cfg for F416 looks like this:

<pre>

[Tietz Camera]

class: tietz.TietzF416

zplane: 5

height: 4096

width: 4064

</pre>

* I use zplane of 5 because this is a bottom-mount camera that does not retract.  Therefore it is always the lowest.

h2. Setup

* Set camera configuration to give the [[Leginon Image Orientation|standard Leginon orientation]].

h2. Testing with pyscope

*F416 camera is used in this case*

1. Close TVIPS TCL/EMMENU

2. From python command shell or IDLE:

<pre>

from pyscope import tietz

t = tietz.TietzF416()

t.getImage()

</pre>

{{include(pyscope_test_result_array)}}

h2. Trouble shooting

{{include(Tietz_camera_trouble_shoot)}}

h2. Programs to open before Leginon Client: None.  TCL/EMMENU must be closed
