Optional logical grouping of detectors.

Each detector is represented as an NXdetector with its own detector data array. Each detector data array may be further decomposed into array sections by use of NXdetector_module groups. Detectors can be grouped logically together using NXdetector_group. Groups can be further grouped hierarchically in a single NXdetector_group (for example, if there are multiple detectors at an endstation or multiple endstations at a facility). Alternatively, multiple NXdetector_groups can be provided.

The groups are defined hierarchically, with names given in the group_names field, unique identifying indices given in the field group_index, and the level in the hierarchy given in the group_parent field. For example if an x-ray detector group, DET, consists of four detectors in a rectangular array:

DTL        DTR
DLL        DLR

We could have:

group_names: ["DET", "DTL", "DTR", "DLL", "DLR"]
 group_index: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 group_parent:  [-1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

pixel_mask: (recommended) NX_INT (Rank: 2, Dimensions: [i, j]) ⤆

The 32-bit pixel mask for the detector. Can be either one mask ...

The 32-bit pixel mask for the detector. Can be either one mask for the whole dataset (i.e. an array with indices i, j) or each frame can have its own mask (in which case it would be an array with indices nP, i, j).

Contains a bit field for each pixel to signal dead, blind, high or otherwise unwanted or undesirable pixels. They have the following meaning:

  • bit 0: gap (pixel with no sensor)

  • bit 1: dead

  • bit 2: under-responding

  • bit 3: over-responding

  • bit 4: noisy

  • bit 5: -undefined-

  • bit 6: pixel is part of a cluster of problematic pixels (bit set in addition to others)

  • bit 7: -undefined-

  • bit 8: user defined mask (e.g. around beamstop)

  • bits 9-30: -undefined-

  • bit 31: virtual pixel (corner pixel with interpolated value)

Normal data analysis software would not take pixels into account when a bit in (mask & 0x0000FFFF) is set. Tag bit in the upper two bytes would indicate special pixel properties that normally would not be a sole reason to reject the intensity value (unless lower bits are set.

If the full bit depths is not required, providing a mask with fewer bits is permissible.

If needed, additional pixel masks can be specified by including additional entries named pixel_mask_N, where N is an integer. For example, a general bad pixel mask could be specified in pixel_mask that indicates noisy and dead pixels, and an additional pixel mask from experiment-specific shadowing could be specified in pixel_mask_2. The cumulative mask is the bitwise OR of pixel_mask and any pixel_mask_N entries.

If provided, it is recommended that it be compressed.

countrate_correction_applied: (optional) NX_BOOLEAN ⤆

True when virtual pixel interpolation has been applied, false otherwise. ...

True when virtual pixel interpolation has been applied, false otherwise.

Many detectors consist of multiple smaller modules that are operated in sync and store their data in a common dataset. To allow consistent parsing of the experimental geometry, this application definiton requires all detectors to define a detector module, even if there is only one.

This group specifies the hyperslab of data in the data array associated with the detector that contains the data for this module.
