Introduction

There are two primary uses of hdf5 at LCLS:

  • DEPRECATED: translation of XTC data into HDF5 format with a specialized "translator" tool
  • generation of "small" hdf5 data using psana-python with MPI parallelization and h5py.  This small data can then be analyzed on laptops with a variety of programs (matlab, Igor, IDL, etc.)

For the latter we suggest that users consult the h5py quick start guide.  These pages will focus on the translator tool, and reading the translator hdf5 files.
