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.  Before starting Leginon Client, check that your camera controlling software is set up properly for Leginon interaction:

Leginon Client GUI is fairly limited and won't do anything if the main processing host does not put any nodes on it.
