The term "debinning" refers to storing multiple copies of a data element in a file. The purpose of debinning is to increase the speed of parallel read access to the file.
Note: Debinning by itself does not introduce new detector values, it only resamples existing values.
"Major" frames record encoder values that were acquired synchronous to a "major" trigger. They occur at a relatively low rate, limited by the maximum readout rate of the encoder.

The "major" and "minor" triggers must overlap. If necessary, a timing sequence can be used to generate the major trigger.The maximum number of cores that can benefit from debinning is equal to the number of copies of data recorded (i.e., the ratio of the minor trigger to the major trigger).
