Application Definitions
#######################

:ref:`NXiqproc`
    Application definition for any :math:`I(Q)` data.

:ref:`NXlauetof`
    This is the application definition for a TOF laue diffractometer.

:ref:`NXmonopd`
    Monochromatic Neutron and X-Ray Powder diffractometer.

:ref:`NXtomo`
    This is the application definition for x-ray or neutron tomography raw data.

:ref:`NXtomophase`
    This is the application definition for x-ray or neutron tomography raw data
    with phase contrast variation at each point.

:ref:`NXtomoproc`
    This is an application definition for the final result of a tomography experiment:
    a 3D construction of some volume of physical properties.

:ref:`NXxbase`
    This definition covers the common parts of all monochromatic single crystal raw data application definitions.

:ref:`NXxeuler`
    Raw data from a :index:`four-circle diffractometer` with an :index:`eulerian cradle`, extends :ref:`NXxbase`.

:ref:`NXxkappa`
    Raw data from a kappa geometry (CAD4) single crystal diffractometer, extends :ref:`NXxbase`.
