Hopefully this results in less work for the HDF5 library (which would not be done in parallel) and ensures the conversion is consistent across all data retrieval strategies.
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)
