Preprocessing tool: detector2nexus

Convert a complex detector definition (multiple modules, possibly in 3D) into a single NeXus detector definition together with the mask (and much more in the future)

Purpose

Convert a detector to NeXus detector definition for pyFAI.

Usage:

detector2nexus [options] [options] -o nxs.h5

Options:

-h, --help	show this help message and exit
-V, --version	show program’s version number and exit
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
	Output nexus file, unless detector_name.h5
-n NAME, --name NAME
	name of the detector
-m MASK, --mask MASK
	mask corresponding to the detector
-D DETECTOR, --detector DETECTOR
	Base detector name (see documentation of pyFAI.detectors
-s SPLINEFILE, --splinefile SPLINEFILE
	Geometric distortion file from FIT2D

-dx DX, –x-corr DX Geometric correction for pilatus -dy DY, –y-corr DY Geometric correction for pilatus -p PIXEL, –pixel PIXEL

pixel size (comma separated): x,y

-S SHAPE, --shape SHAPE
	shape of the detector (comma separated): x,y
-d DARK, --dark DARK
	Dark noise to be subtracted
-f FLAT, --flat FLAT
	Flat field correction
-v, --verbose	switch to verbose/debug mode
