||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * *leginondata.py* and *event.py* contain the definitions of all classes of data that are passed around between nodes and/or stored in the database. |
||
| 6 | * *node.py* defines *Node*, the base class for all nodes. You will find a lot of the basic node functionality here, like passing events, storing user preferences, etc. |
||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | h2. Brief description of some of the nodes |
||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | * *targetwatcher.py* defines the class *TargetWatcher* which includes basic functionality for processing targets that were produced by another node. The input is target list, which is handled by the *processTargetList* method. This method loops over the targets, calling *processTarget* on each one. The *processTarget* method must be defined in a subclass. |
||
| 11 | * *acquisition.py* defines the *Acquisition* class, which is a subclass of *TargetWatcher*. It defines the *processTarget* function such that an acquisition sequence happens at each target. More info, see: [[acquisition.py]] |
