3.3.2.17. NXsqom

Status:

application definition, extends NXobject

Description:

This is the application definition for S(Q,OM) processed data.

As this kind of data is in general not on a rectangular grid after data reduction, it is stored as Q,E positions plus their intensity, table like. It is the task of a possible visualisation program to regrid this data in a sensible way.

Symbols:

The symbol(s) listed here will be used below to coordinate datasets with the same shape.

nP: Number of points

Groups cited:

NXdata, NXentry, NXinstrument, NXparameters, NXprocess, NXsample, NXsource
