51 | ## that works with your camera. Optionally, you may also select |
||
52 | ## the Simulation camera. A test script is available to help you figure |
||
53 | ## out which ones are available to you. Run the script: tietztest.py |

64 | 8 | Anchi Cheng | For example, instruments.cfg for F416 looks like this: |
65 | <pre> |
||
66 | [Tietz Camera] |
||
67 | class: tietz.TietzF416 |
||
68 | zplane: 5 |
||
69 | height: 4096 |
||
70 | width: 4064 |
||
71 | </pre> |
||
72 | * I use zplane of 5 because this is a bottom-mount camera that does not retract. Therefore it is always the lowest. |
||
73 | |||
74 | 1 | Anchi Cheng | h2. Setup |
75 | |||
76 | 2 | Anchi Cheng | * Set camera configuration to give the [[Leginon Image Orientation|standard Leginon orientation]]. |

80 | 11 | Anchi Cheng | *F416 camera is used in this case* |
81 | |||
82 | 1. Close TVIPS TCL/EMMENU |
||
83 | 2. From python command shell or IDLE: |
||
84 | <pre> |
||
85 | from pyscope import tietz |
||
86 | t = tietz.TietzF416() |
||
87 | t.getImage() |
