[Translator.H5Output]

# The only option you need to set for the Translator.H5Output module is
# output_file. All other options have default values (explained below).

# TODO: enter the full h5 output file name, including the output directory
output_file = output_directory/h5output.h5

# By default, the Translator will not overwrite the h5 file if it already exists

# EPICS FILTERING
# The Translator can store epics pv's in one of two ways, or not at all.
# set store_epics below, to one of the following:
#
# updates_only   stores an epic pv when it has changed. The pv is stored 
#                in the current calib cycle.  For mutli calib cycle experiments, 
#                users may have to look back through several calib cycle's to 
#                find the latest value of a pv.
#
# calib_repeat   each calib cycle will include the latest value of all the epics 
#                pv's.  This can make it easier to find pv's for a calib cycle. 
#                For experiments with many short calib cycles, it produces 
#                many more datasets than neccessary.
#
# no             epics pv's will not be stored. You may also want to set Epics=exclude
#                (see below) if you do not want the epics configuration data stored

# The default is 'calib_repeat'

store_epics = calib_repeat

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# FILTERING
# 
# By default, all xtc data is Translated and many ndarrays that user modules (if any) 
# add are translated. Filtering can occur in either the code of user modules, or
# through options in the psana.cfg file. Here in the config file, different groups of 
# data can be filtered. There are four options for filtering data: 
#
#    type filtering   -  for example, exclude all cspad, regardless of the detector source
#    source filtering -  for example, exclude any data from a given detector source
#    key filtering    -  for example, include only ndarrays with a given key string
#    calibration      -  do not translate original xtc if a calibrated version is found
#
# Type filtering is based on sets of Psana data types. If you know what detectors or 
# devices to filter, leave type filtering alone and go to src_filter. 
#
# Type filtering has the highest precedence, then key filtering, then source 
# filtering, and lastly calibration filtering. When the Translator sees new data, 
# it first checks the type filter. If it is a filtered type (or unknown type) no further 
# translation occurs with the data - regardless of src or key. For data that gets 
# past the type filter, the Translator looks at the src and key. If the key 
# string is empty, it checks the source filter. Data with non empty key strings are 
# handled via the key filter. If the src is filtered, but the key is not, then the
# data will be translated. Data with the special calibration key string are handled 
# via the calibration filtering. 
#
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# TYPE FILTERING 
#
# One can include or exclude a class of Psana types with the following 
# options. Only the strings include or exclude are valid for these 
# type filtering options. 
# 
# Note - Epics in the list below refers only to the epicsConfig data
# which is the epics alias list, not the epics pv's. To filter the epics pv's
# see the 'store_epics' option above.

# TYPE FILTER SHORTCUT
#
# In addition to filtering Psana types by the options above, one can use
# the type_filter option below. For example:
#
# type_filter include cspad       # will only translate cspad types. Will not translate
#                                 # ndarrays or strings
# type_filter exclude Andor evr   # translate all except the Andor or Evr types
# 
# If you do not want to translate what is in the xtc file, use the psana shortcut:
#
# type_filter exclude psana       # This will only translate ndarray's and strings 
#
# Likewise doing:
#
# type_filter include psana       # will translate all xtc data, but skip any ndarray's or strings
#
# The default is to include all

type_filter include all

# note - if type_filter is anything other than 'include all' it takes precedence
# over the classes of type filter options above, like Cspad=include.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# SOURCE FILTERING
#
# The default for the src_filter option is "include all"
# If you want to include a subset of the sources, do
#
# src_filter include srcname1 srcname2  
#
#  or if you want to exclude a subset of sources, do
#
# src_filter exclude srcname1 srcname2
#
# The syntax for specifying a srcname follows that of the Psana Source (discussed in 
# the Psana Users Guide). The Psana Source recognizes DAQ alias names (if present
# in the xtc files), several styles for specifying a Pds Src, as well as detector matches 
# where the detector number, or device number is not known.
# 
# Specifically, format of the match string can be:
#
#       DetInfo(det.detId:dev.devId) - fully or partially specified DetInfo
#       det.detId:dev.devId - same as above
#       DetInfo(det-detId|dev.devId) - same as above
#       det-detId|dev.devId - same as above
#       BldInfo(type) - fully or partially specified BldInfo
#       type - same as above
#       ProcInfo(ipAddr) - fully or partially specified ProcInfo
#
# For example
#        DetInfo(AmoETOF.0.Acqiris.0)  
#        DetInfo(AmoETOF.0.Acqiris)  
#        DetInfo(AmoETOF:Acqiris)
#        AmoETOF:Acqiris
#        AmoETOF|Acqiris
#
# will all match the same data, AmoETOF.0.Acqiris.0. The later ones will match
# additional data (such as detector 1, 2, etc.) if it is present.
#
# A simple way to set up src filtering is to take a look at the sources in the 
# xtc input using the psana EventKeys module.  For example
#
# psana -n 5 -m EventKeys exp=cxitut13:run=22 
#
# Will print the EventKeys in the first 5 events.  If the output includes
#
#   EventKey(type=Psana::EvrData::DataV3, src=DetInfo(NoDetector.0:Evr.2))
#   EventKey(type=Psana::CsPad::DataV2, src=DetInfo(CxiDs1.0:Cspad.0))
#   EventKey(type=Psana::CsPad2x2::ElementV1, src=DetInfo(CxiSc2.0:Cspad2x2.1))
#   EventKey(type=Psana::Bld::BldDataEBeamV3, src=BldInfo(EBeam))
#   EventKey(type=Psana::Bld::BldDataFEEGasDetEnergy, src=BldInfo(FEEGasDetEnergy))
#   EventKey(type=Psana::Camera::FrameV1, src=BldInfo(CxiDg2_Pim))
#
# Then one can filter on these six srcname's:
#
#  NoDetector.0:Evr.2  CxiDs1.0:Cspad.0  CxiSc2.0:Cspad2x2.1  EBeam  FEEGasDetEnergy  CxiDg2_Pim
#

src_filter = include all

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# CALIBRATION FILTERING
#
# Psana calibration modules can produce calibrated versions of different 
# data types. Depending on the module used, you may get an NDArray, an 
# image, or the same data type as was in the xtc but with calibrated data.
#
# If you are doing the latter, the module output will be data of the same type 
# and src as the uncalibrated data, with an additional key, such as 'calibrated'.
# If these modules are configured to use a different key, set calibration_key
# below accordingly:

calibration_key = calibrated

# The Translator defaults to writing calibrated data in place of uncalibrated
# data. If you do not want the calibrated data, set skip_calibrated to true.

skip_calibrated = false

# note, setting skip_calibrated to true will force sets exclude_calibstore 
# (below) to be true as well.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# CALIBSTORE FILTERING
#
# Calibration modules may publish the data they used to produce the calibrated
# event objects. Examples of data would be pedestal values, pixel status (what
# pixels are hot) and common mode algorithm parameters. This data will be published
# in what is called the Psana calibStore. When the Translator sees calibrated 
# event data, it will look for the corresponsinding calibStore data as well.
# If you do not want it to translate calibStore data, set the following to true.

exclude_calibstore = false

# otherwise, the Translator will create a group CalibStore that holds the
# calibstore data. Note, the Translator looks for all calibStore data associated 
# with the calibration modules. If a calibration module was configured to not do 
# certain calibrations (such as gain) but the module still put gain values
# in the config store (even though it did not use them) the Translator 
# would still translate those gain values.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# KEY FILTERING
#
# Psana modules loaded before the translator may put a variety of objects in the event 
# store. Be default, the Translator will translate any new data that it knows about.
# In addition to the psana types, it knows about NDArrays, C++ strings, and has a C++ interface 
# for registering new simple types. NDarray's up to 4 dimensions of 10 basic types 
# (8, 16, 32 and 64 bit signed and unsigned int, float and double) as well as the const 
# versions of these types are translated.
#
# Generally Psana modules will attach keys to these objects (the keys are simply strings).
# To filter the set of keys that are translated, modify the parameter below:

key_filter = include all

# The default is to not look at the key but rather translate all data that the translator
# knows about. An example of including only data with the key finalanswer would be
#
# key_filter = include finalanswer
#
# To exclude a few keys, one can do
#
# key_filter = exclude arrayA arrayB
#
# Note, key filtering does not affect translation of data without keys. For instance
# setting key_filter = include keyA does not turn off translation of data without keys.
# Of all the data with keys, only those where the key is keyA will be translated.
#
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # 
# COMPRESSION 
#
# The following options control compression for most all datasets.
# Shuffling improves compression for certain datasets. Valid values for
# deflate (gzip compression level) are 0-9. Setting deflate = -1 turns off
# compression.

shuffle = true
deflate = 1

# ---------------------------------------
# CHUNKING
# The commented options below give the default chunking options.
# Objects per chunk are selected from the target chunk size (16 MB) and 
# adjusted based on min/max objects per chunk, and the max bytes per chunk.
# It is important that the chunkCache (created on a per dataset basis) be 
# large enough to hold at least one chunk, ideally all chunks we need to have
# open at one time when writing to the dataset (usually one, unless we repair
# split events):
 
# chunkSizeTargetInBytes = 1703936 (16MB)
# chunkSizeTargetObjects = 0 (0 means select objects per chunk from chunkSizeInBytes)
# maxChunkSizeInBytes = 10649600  (100MB)
# minObjectsPerChunk = 50              
# maxObjectsPerChunk = 2048
# chunkCacheSizeTargetInChunks = 3
# maxChunkCacheSizeInBytes = 10649600  (100MB)

# ---------------------------------------
# REFINED DATASET CONTROL
#
# There are six classes of datasets for which individual options for shuffle,
# deflate, chunkSizeTargetInBytes and chunkSizeTargetObjects can be specified:
#
# regular (most everything, all psana types)
# epics (all the epics pv's)
# damage (accompanies all regular data from event store)
# ndarrays (new data from other modules)
# string's (new data from other modules)
# eventId (the time dataset that also accompanies all regular data, epics pvs, ndarrays and strings)
#
# The options for regular datasets have been discussed above. The other five datasets 
# get their default values for shuffle, deflate, chunkSizeInBytes and chunkSizeInObjects
# from the regular dataset options except in the cases below:
 
# damageShuffle = false
# stringShuffle = false
# epicsPvShuffle = false
# stringDeflate = -1
# eventIdChunkSizeTargetInBytes = 16384
# epicsPvChunkSizeTargetInBytes = 16384

# The rest of the shuffle, deflate and chunk size options for the other five datasets are:
#
# eventIdShuffle = true
# eventIdDeflate = 1
# damageDeflate = 1
# epicsPvDeflate = 1
# ndarrayShuffle = true
# ndarrayDeflate = 1
# eventIdChunkSizeTargetObjects = 0

# ndarrayChunkSizeTargetInBytes = 1703936
# ndarrayChunkSizeTargetObjects = 0
# epicsPvChunkSizeTargetObjects = 0

# ---------------------------------------
# SPLIT EVENTS
# When the Translator encounters a split event, it checks a cache to see
# if it has already seen it.  If it has, it fills in any blanks that it can.
# To prevent this cache from growing to large, set the maximum number of
