Your experimental session has ended. Here is some information about accessing your data and providing feedback to the beamline.
Getting your data from Diamond
There are some instructions on the user office website regarding how to access your data after your visit.
NeXus files & Dawn
We save our data using the NeXus file format. You can open nexus files using anything that can open hdf5 files, such as python, matlab, or Dawn.
Read more about NeXus files
NeXus is an effort by an international group of scientists motivated to define a common data exchange format for neutron, X-ray, and muon experiments. NeXus is built on top of the scientific data format HDF5 and adds domain-specific rules for organizing data within HDF5 files in addition to a dictionary of well-defined domain-specific field names.
For I15-1, this means that every data collections will have at least one associated nexus file, as well as some ancilliary files.
