Quickstart Guide

To get started using WEI, we recommend the following resources:

The WEI Template Workcell provides a complete, working minimal example of a WEI workcell. It is designed to be easy to understand and modify. If you are new to WEI, we recommend starting here to understand how WEI works. This template workcell can also be used as a starting point for your own workcell.
To learn more about the core concepts underlying WEI, consult the Core Concepts section.
To learn more about how to write and develop your own experiment applications, workflows, workcells, or modules, consult the How To Guides

To learn how to use an existing WEI-powered workcell, we recommend looking into:

Experiments and How-To: Experiments to understand the basics of how to write and run an experiment application.
Workflows and How-To: Workflows to understand how to write and use workflows in your experiments.
Workcells and Modules
The WEI Template Workcell, for trying out these concepts using WEI on your own computer.
Any documentation specific to your target workcell, if available.

To learn how to develop a new WEI-powered workcell, we recommend looking into:

Workcells and How-To: Workcells to understand the basics of how to develop a workcell.
Modules and How-To: Modules to understand how modules, the building blocks of a workcell, work.
Workflows and Experiments
Deployment Guide
The WEI Template Workcell, for trying out these concepts using WEI on your own computer, and to use as a template to create your own workcell.

To learn how to develop a new WEI-compatible module to control a device, we recommend looking into:

Modules and How-To: Modules to understand how modules, the building blocks of a workcell, work, and how to write them.
