Configuration Basics

This set of guides provide information about the fundamental building blocks that characterize the NGC-Learn as well as the operation of NGC-Learn’s back-end, NGC-Sim-Lib. For end-users (experimentalists, engineers), the sections under “Building Blocks” will be most informative. For developers, the sections under “Development Information” are recommended, particularly for advanced use-cases and low-level development.
