**Status**:

  application definition, extends :ref:`NXxbase`

**Description**:

  raw data from a kappa geometry (CAD4) single crystal diffractometer, extends :ref:`NXxbase`

  This is the application definition for raw data from a kappa geometry 
  (CAD4) single crystal
  diffractometer. It extends :ref:`NXxbase`, so the full definition is 
  the content of :ref:`NXxbase` plus the
  data defined here.

**Symbols**:

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

  **nP**: Number of points

**Groups cited**:
  :ref:`NXdata`, :ref:`NXdetector`, :ref:`NXentry`, :ref:`NXinstrument`, :ref:`NXsample`
