The NEXUS file format
All of DIAD data is packaged as Nexus or .nxs files. The advantage is that each dataset can be packaged with a wealth of metadata.
Because DIAD outputs two spatially correlated techniques.
Output
Both imaging and diffraction data are both autoprocessed, meaning that imaging data is reconstructed and diffraction data is reduced from 2D images to 1D patterns.
This is what your visit folder will look like:
The folders that are most relevant are:
Experiments - Contains a master nexus for each experiment as defined in GDA [Link]
Nexus - Contains all raw nexus data from each scan.
Processed - All autoprocessed data - image reconstructions and diffraction 2D integrations
Processing - This is the only writable folder for the user. This allows you a space to reprocess or do further processing on data.

You can often use the dimensions of the data to help you. In this case this is an imaging dataset which has the dimensions 2640,1080,1280.
