LabProcess

Core transformation node in the process graph. A Process connects inputs to outputs and references the Protocol that was executed.

Inputs and Outputs

The core mechanism of processes is to connect inputs to outputs. To allow for grouping of multiple inputs and outputs, we allow inputs and outputs to be lists. In this case, both lists should be of the same length and the Nth input corresponds to the Nth output. This allows us to maintain a simple one-to-one mapping between inputs and outputs while still supporting multiple inputs and outputs per process.
