Detailed Description

Constants identifying μSR data file formats for the any2many converter.

These constants are used to specify input and output formats when converting between different μSR data file formats. Each format has specific characteristics:

• ROOT-based formats: Binary, fast, support complex data structures
• NeXus (HDF5): Self-describing, hierarchical, cross-platform standard
• Binary formats: Compact, fast, but platform/facility specific
• ASCII formats: Human-readable, portable, but larger file size
