Run Leginon Client on the Microscope Computer¶

Leginon Client is run on the microscope-controlling computer (and the robot controlling
computer, if applicable) so that the main Leginon program on the remote computer can launch
the necessary node at the right place. For example, in order for the remote computer to get
and set microscope parameters, the Instrument node need to be launched on the
microscope-controlling computer.

Start Leginon Client¶

• scope> Start Leginon Client (Either with the shortcut on the Desktop or follow
  the Start Menu-\Start\Programs\Leginon>Leginon Client)

<blockquote>

"Exception EAccessViolation in module adaExp.exe at ....

</blockquote>

Do NOT touch this message box, or leginon client will need restarting.
