Windows Installation¶
- You need to repeat installation of the general packages for each of the computer involved in Leginon operation with addition for the camera and scope.
Add the IP address and matching hostname of the microscope and digital camera computer in your host file on the main Leginon computer, and vice versa.¶
Find out what python thinks the hostname is with python command line. REPEAT this both on Linux and Windows PC¶
Run the following in python command line:
import socket socket.gethostname()
Find out the ip address associated with the hostname¶
Run the following in python command line:
import socket socket.gethostbyname('your_host_name')
Modify your "hosts" file on the linux Leginon computer to include the instrument hosts if the latter is not already mapped by your domain name server¶
- On Linux, this "hosts" file is at
/etc/hosts
Example of a "hosts" file:
192.000.1.222 instrument_host_name.domain_name instrument_short_host_name
Use shorter linux hostname if desired¶
If you'd like to shorten your linux hostname recognized by socket without the domain name, you may do so as root
hostname your_shorter_hostname
and also add that to the /etc/hosts as an alternative name
192.000.1.333 long_host_name.domain_name your_shorter_hostname
You will need to restart networking to make it persistent.
/etc/init.d/network restart
Test the change by finding the ip address with the hostname as in the above section.
The Linux main Leginon computer also needs to identify itself by its hostname registered on the instrument Windows computer.¶
- On Window XP and WIndows 7 this host file is
C:\\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- On Window NT, this host file is
C:\\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Register TecnaiCCD.dll (Gatan 32-bit DM on FEI microscope), CAMC4.exe (For Tietz camera), and adaexp.exe (For film exposure)¶
- From the command prompt, run the following commands. You may need to enter the full path of the exe or dll:
adaexp.exe /regserver CAMC4.exe /regserver REGSVR32 TecnaiCCD.dll
Install Python and supporting packages with their installers¶
Program | package web site | local copy of win32 installer | local copy of amd64 installer |
Python > 2.7.10 | http://www.python.org | python-2.7.16.msi | python-2.7.18.amd64.msi |
wxPython 2.8 or newer | http://www.wxpython.org | wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27.exe | wxPython2.8-win64-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27.exe |
MySQL Python client 1.2 or newer | http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python | MySQL-python-1.2.4b4.win32-py2.7.exe | MySQL-python-1.2.3.win-amd64-py2.7.exe |
Python Imaging Library (PIL) 1.1.4 or newer | http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ | PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.7.exe | PIL-fork-1.1.7.win-amd64-py2.7.exe |
NumPy | (use only from our file to match compiled numextension | numpy-1.7.0-win32-python2.7.exe | numpy-MKL-1.6.2.win-amd64-py2.7.exe |
SciPy 0.5.1 or newer | http://www.scipy.org | scipy-0.11.0-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe | scipy-0.11.0.win-amd64-py2.7.exe |
pyMySQL 0.10.1 (not higher) | https://pypi.org/project/PyMySQL/ | pyMySQL-0.10.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl |
Excute the installer files and follow the instructions.
Install the Windows Installer Files from created from source by NRAMM¶
Package | win32 | amd64 |
---|---|---|
numextension | numextension-svn.win32-py2.7-numpy1.7.0.exe | numextension-svn.win-amd64-py2.7-numpy1.6.2.exe |
Execute the installer files and follow the instructions.
Install the packages you downloaded from NRAMM svn repository¶
The svn checkout is a folder containing several subpackages. You will install the python packages using python installer
These are the sub-packages¶
Name: | Purpose: |
---|---|
leginon | modular TEM image acquisition |
pyami | general functions |
sinedon | database interaction |
pyscope | microscope control and monitoring |
imageviewer | image viewing for tomography |
If you recall Linux processing server installation instruction, this is a bit different. Numextension and LibCV are not included. Numextension is already installed with windows installer. libcv is not required by Leginon client that this part installation is aimed for.
- Start a command line Window from Start Menu
- Install the package in each folder with commands such as
cd Your_Download_Place\LeginonTrunk\leginon c:\\python27\python.exe setup.py install
Then continue with the other packages, replacing leginon with the package name. See "These are the sub-packages of myami that you will install with the python installer." section above for complete list.
Modify comtypes if TIA controlling camera is used or Gatan camera is controlled by older, 32-bit computer.¶
IMPORTANT: After installing comtypes, you must make one modification to it. The module "safearray.py" that comes with comtypes must be replaced with a modified version that we provide. You can find the custom version of safearray.py in the pyscope package. Please copy this module from pyscope into the installed comtypes folder: C:\Python2*\Lib\site-packages\comtypes\. It should replace the safearray.py that is included in comtypes.
TIA controlling camera only:¶
(Reported by a user as a necessary step on his system. May not be necessary) Copy TecnaiCCD.dll and stdscript.dll into pyscope folder
Run updatecom.py¶
From a command line window:
cd C:\python27\Lib\Site-Packages\pyScope C:\python27\python.exe updatecom.py
The python window appears should say show the required type libraries it found:
Generating .py files from type libraries... initializing TEM Scripting Error, cannot find typelib for "TEM Scripting" initializing Tecnai Scripting done. initializing TOM Moniker done. initializing Tecnai Low Dose Kit done. initializing Tecnai Exposure Adaptor done. initializing Tietz CCD Camera done.
The output is of course depending on what is available on your microscope computer. You should have either "Tecnai Scripting" or the pairing of "TEM Scripting" and "TOM Moniker".
You will only find Tecnai Exposure Adaptor (Scripting for film exposure) if you ask FEI for it.
The script should generate a few files in C:\\python27\Lib\win32com\gen_py with seemly scrambled names such as BC0A2B03-19FF-11D3-AE00-00A024CBA50Cx0x1x9.py
Register the Tietz ping callback function (Tietz camera only)¶
- From a command line window:
cd C:\python27\Lib\Site-Packages\pyscope C:\python27\python.exe tietzping.py
camc.ini setup (Tietz camera only)¶
CAMC4 has its own configuration file "CAMC.ini" that will normally be set up already, but you can search for it on your computer and confirm that everything looks right. It will have configuration parameters for several cameras and only one of them will be activated. The only parameter that may need some adjustment is the readout geometry, which affects the rotation and mirror of the image.
