Durin

XDS plugin for reading HDF5 files following the NeXuS format or those written by Dectris Eiger detectors.

See:

• https://www.nexusformat.org
• https://www.dectris.com/features/features-eiger-x/hdf5-and-nexus
• https://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki

Usage

In your XDS.INP add:

LIB=[path to durin-plugin.so]
NAME_TEMPLATE_OF_DATA_FRAMES=[data_path]/data_images_??????.h5

XDS will instruct the plugin to load [data_path]/data_images_master.h5 and this must be the Eiger master file or the NeXus file for the data collection.

It is generally assumed that the files [data_path]/data_images_data_xxxxxx.h5 contain the actual datasets and the master file contains HDF5 external links to these, but that is not required, so long as the master file contains an NXdata or NXdetector group with either a dataset named data or a series of datasets named data_000001, data_000002, etc.

Requirements

• HDF5 Library (https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads)
