psana -m Translator.H5Output -o Translator.H5Output.output_file=/reg/d/psdm/instrument/experiment/hdf5/exp-run001.h5 /reg/d/psdm/instrument/experiment/xtc/exp-run001*.xtc

Would would invoke the translator.  It will translate all the xtc files in run 001. This runs with default values for all the translator options. These are the recommended option values to use for translation.  The options include gzip compression at level 1 and no filtering on events or data. The Translator does not overwrite an existing h5 output file by default (set the option overwrite=true to overwrite the output).

The easiest way to try different translator options to write a psana.cfg file.  Copy the file default_psana.cfg that is included below (this is also in the Translator package directory) and modify option values that you wish.  The file default_psana.cfg includes extensive documentation on all the translator options.
