h1. Update from v13-Follow v14 update after performing these 




 h2. Update from v1.3-Follow v1.4 update after performing these 



 The changes from v1.3 includes update of all in-house components of Leginon and dbemtools, 
 mrctools but not the database. A new configuration file (sinedon.cfg) is required. The updated 
 mrctools and dbemtools installation (required) is now performed through "php devel" so that it 
 can be customized according to the php version installed on the web server. 



 h2. Install the supporting packages first if missing: 



 Follow the instruction for your specific Linux distribution. 


 For example, SUSE users can use YaST to install them 



 |_.Name:|_.Download site:| 
 |NumPy 1.0b5 or higher| "http://www.scipy.org":http://www.scipy.org| 
 |SciPy 0.5.1 or higher*| "http://www.scipy.org":http://www.scipy.org    ", 
 http://repos.opensuse.org/science":http://repos.opensuse.org/science| 




 *SciPy may not build properly on some versions of SuSE due to an incompatible LAPACK 
 package that comes with SuSE. You can get scipy as well as a compatible LAPACK etc. from 
 http://repos.opensuse.org/science (need to specify your SuSE version and machine 
 etc.) 





 h2. Install php devel packages on the web server first if missing: 



 You can check whether php devel is installed by 
 typing<pre> >cd [webdirectory] 			 #/var/www/html in this example 
 >phpize</pre> 


 Follow the instruction for your specific Linux distribution.    "http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/Development_Languages_PHP.html":http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/Development_Languages_PHP.html    has some 
 examples. 


 For example, SUSE users can use YaST to install them 





 h2. Install the new mrctools 



 mrctools 1.4 will work better with Leginon 1.4 and 1.5. It is no longer included in 
 dbemtools and is now installed from php devel directory. 




 * Download dbem tools from    "http://emg.nysbc.org/software/mrctools":http://emg.nysbc.org/software/mrctools . 


 * Follow the instruction at    "http://emg.nysbc.org/software/mrctools/mrc_so.php":http://emg.nysbc.org/software/mrctools/mrc_so.php    for installation and 
 testing. 









 h2. Recommended Application Preference Changes when updated 
 from version 1.3 




 h2. All MSI Applications 



 * If the goniometer model shows strong oscillation, using modeled stage position 
 movement to create and to move to targets from Grid Atlas can improve the accuracy. To 
 use this new feature, you should calibrate the modeled movement at the very low mag 
 preset that is used for making the atlas (gr in our convention), "mag only" is enough. 
 Once it is available, Change the following preferences will allow the use of this new 
 feature. 


 * Grid/Settings> move type ="Modeled Stage Position". 


 * Square/Settings> move type ="Modeled Stage Position". 


 * Square Targeting/Mosaic> Calibration parameter="Modeled Stage 
 Position". 




 * The new melting preset should be chosen in Focus node or any other node that 
 melting is required. 


 * Focus/Settings/Focusing> Melt preset=fc 




 * To correct the Focuser/DriftManager toggling problem, Drift Manager pause time 
 before the first image acquisition should be determined per microscope. For example, 
 TecnaiF20 at NRAMM requires about 4 sec, but Spirit 12 requires 12 sec. If the stage 
 is stable and well below the drift threshold most of the time, a shorter pause can be 
 used to reduce the total monitoring time at the expense of allowing some toggling when 
 it ocasionally goes above the threshold. 


 * Drift Manager/Settings/Drift Management> Wait at least "4" seconds between 
 images.
