Hi John,
You are correct to be confused.
The FileFormat PV comes from the asynNDArrayDriver base class, and is documented here:
https://areadetector.github.io/master/ADCore/NDArray.html#asynndarraydriver
However, that PV is not used in the ADPilatus driver, and so does not belong on the OPI screens. I have removed the PVs from the OPI screens and tweaked the layout. I have pushed to the master branch of ADPilatus on Github.

Subject: ADPilatus $(P)$(R)FileFormat ?
I want to write cbf files from a Pilaus detector. I understand this is selected by the choice of the file extension in $(P)$(R)FileTemplate.
On the MEDM screen I also see a $(P)$(R)FileFormat menu mux which offers the choices TIFF | Invalid.
This PV isn't mentioned in the documentation:
So, I am a little confused. Thanks.
