Examples of the canSAS2012 data format

This Page

Binary: HDF5ΒΆ

It is expected that small-angle scattering data will be stored in binary HDF5 files (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/). To store SAS data in text files, see the chapter titled Text: XML.

The basic plan here is to describe the implementation of the canSAS multi-dimensional format within the NeXus HDF5 format (http://www.nexusformat.org) by creating a new NeXus NXcansas application definition, expressed as a NXDL file (http://download.nexusformat.org/doc/html/nxdl.html).

The effort to create this NXDL definition will commence once the basics of the canSAS multi-dimensional format are set forth.
