## Attendees
* Erik
* Peter
## Action Items
***Peter***
* Make changes discussed to LineIntegratedDiagnostic
* Make SyntheticProtonRadiograph a subclass of LineIntegratedDiagnostic
***Erik***
* priorities:
* finish documentation automodapi for Thomson stuff
* implement lite function stuff for Thomson
* skim review PR 1123
## Minutes
* Changed the scope and time going forwards
* Meeting will be about diagnostics in general
* Now meeting 10am PT every other week on Monday starting May 10
* [PR 1123](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/1123): Line Integrated Diagnostic
* Integrate a given quantity along a given path (no particle tracing)
* good for optical diagnostics and proton with low deflection
* Had good discussion about implementation and API
* time frame is independent of the Thomson stuff
* READY for an initial review skim
