Introduction

One of the responsibilities of the offline system is to translate the data coming from online system to the "scientific format". The basis for the scientific data format is HDF5 - Hierarchical Data format - developed and supported by HDF Group.

...

This version was introduced around February 2014. It introduced some new features and changes discussed in the Outdated: The XTC - to - HDF5 Translator page. In particular,

• CsPad calibration constants have moved
• Some File attributes are not stored
• A few integer types changed size
• All Epics pv's are stored in the source folder EpicsArch.0:NoDevice.0.  Before they could appear in several folders. As epics pv names uniquely identify the data, the source information should not be needed
• OutOfOrder damage is by default no longer translated.
• Creation of a Filtered:000x group under run when users filter events using "do_not_translate" key.
• For split calib cycle translation, schema for split calib files started at CalibCycle:000x rather than /Configure:0000.
