Data formats

• EDF

• • • the “ESRF” Data Format
    • suffers from lack of support and lack of definitions

• Nexus

• • • based on HDF from NCSA (remember Mosaic?)
    • HDF is well supported, has online compression, defines tags, all data can be in one file
    • Nexus defines standard tags for instruments but is currently only used in neutron facilities

• Bruker

• • • CCD data format for Bruker detectors
