Proposal Example

2d image + wave length

raw detector [100,100,256]

scan over theta and phi and temperature

outer scan temperature

32 
65

inner scan combined theta and phi

-15 0.1
-14 0.3
..  ..
14  8.4
15  8.7

unsolved problem: pixel size

relatively straight forward for event mode using pixels_ids instead of data

Minutes

Present: HJB, EW, MK, MB, TSR, FA

  • Generic proposal for spatial and other axes on nD Detectors: (slowest, slow, fast) – new use cases

See above. All reviewed this and found no obvious problems. For the next meeting people should gather use cases that might or might not work and report back.

  • Buildserver hickup

Freddie fixed the configuration and the build now completes successfully.

  • Documentation update, summary of ticket review

Number of tickets has been close as they had been completed a while back. https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/issues/266 appears to be in an unclear state and would benefit from investigation. Freddie volunteered.

  • code (napi) cmake update and release timelime

During the call Eugen made some progress on the test build.

  • CXI format, status report.

Mark B interested. Will contact people in Berkeley.

  • Next meeting
