h1. Leginon Developer Guide
h2. Brief description of some of the core code components
* *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.
* *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.
h2. Brief description of some of the nodes
* *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 *processTargetListData* method. This method loops over the targets, calling *processTargetData* on each one. The *processTargetData* method must be defined in a subclass.
* *acquisition.py* defines the *Acquisition* class, which is a subclass of *TargetWatcher*. It defines the *processTargetData* function such that an acquisition sequence happens at each target. More info, see: [[acquisition.py]]
h2. Useful diagonosis scripts
* [[testing pyscope instrument]] functions.
