Declares which child group contains a path leading to a NXdata group.
It is recommended (as of NIAC2014) to use this attribute to help define the path to the default dataset to be plotted. See https://www.nexusformat.org/2014_How_to_find_default_data.html for a summary of the discussion.
type: (optional) NX_CHAR
Any of these values:
Soller
|radial
|oscillating
|honeycomb
soller_angle: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}
Angular divergence of Soller collimator
divergence_x: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}
divergence of collimator in local x direction
divergence_y: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}
divergence of collimator in local y direction
frequency: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_FREQUENCY}
Frequency of oscillating collimator
blade_thickness: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
blade thickness
blade_spacing: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
blade spacing
absorbing_material: (optional) NX_CHAR
name of absorbing material
transmitting_material: (optional) NX_CHAR
name of transmitting material
depends_on: (optional) NX_CHAR
GEOMETRY: (optional) NXgeometry
DEPRECATED: Use the field depends_on and NXtransformations to position the collimator and NXoff_geometry to describe its shape instead
position, shape and size
frequency_log: (optional) NXlog
Log of frequency
OFF_GEOMETRY: (optional) NXoff_geometry
This group describes the shape of the beam line component
TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations

This is the group recommended for holding the chain of translation and rotation operations necessary to position the component within the instrument. The dependency chain may however traverse similar groups in other component groups.
