 ------------
 A `Processor` is a `Detector` that takes input from one or more other detectors, and combines/processes this data. We already encountered an example in :numref:`Getting started`, where the `SingleRoiProcessor` was used to average the data from a camera over a region of interest. A block diagram of the data flow of this code is shown in :numref:`hellowfsdiagram`. Since a processor, itself, is a `Detector`, multiple processors can be chained together to combine their functionality. The OpenWFS further includes various processors, such as a `CropProcessor` to crop data to a rectangular region of interest, and a `TransformProcessor` to perform affine image transformations to image produced by a source.

 Actuators
 ---------
 Actuators are devices that *move* things in the setup. This can be literal, such as moving a translation stage, or a virtual movement, like an SLM that takes time to switch to a different phase pattern. All actuators and derive from the common :class:`.Actuator` base class. Actuators have no additional methods or properties other than those in the :class:`.Device` base class.

 Finally, devices have a `timeout` attribute, which is the maximum time to wait for a device to become ready. This timeout is used in the state-switching mechanism, and when explicitly waiting for results using :meth:`~.Device.wait()` or  :meth:`~.Device.read()`.
