NXtofraw¶
Status:
application definition, extends NXobject
Description:
This is an application definition for raw data from a generic TOF instrument
Symbols:
The symbol(s) listed here will be used below to coordinate datasets with the same shape.
nDet: Number of detectors
nTimeChan: nTimeChan description

Official NeXus NXDL schema to which this file conforms
Obligatory value:
NXtofrawduration: (required) NX_FLOAT
run_number: (required) NX_INT
pre_sample_flightpath: (required) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
This is the flight path before the sample position. This can be determined by a chopper, by the moderator, or the source itself. In other words: it is the distance to the component which gives the T0 signal to the detector electronics. If another component in the NXinstrument hierarchy provides this information, this should be a link.
