File formats

Broadly speaking: either HDF5 or plain text for both image and supporting data.

images and results

The current format is described here:

    2017-now: Current file format (images in .cxi file, results in .h5 file)


   

Legacy file formats:

    2014-2017 format: Single .cxi file (images and results in one .cxi file)

    2009-2014 format: Small single-frame HDF5 files (one file per image)



Additional data (powder patterns, mask files)

    Saved in HDF5 format as listed below
