About the Tutorials#
While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to study the Bonsai Language Guide before reading this Software Guide.
The tutorials available in this section for the OpenEphys.Miniscope Bonsai package build on the Quick Start Guide, and progressively add more functionality, so it is recommended to follow them in order.
