| Subject: | Data format using NDFileHDF5 |

I am using the NDFileHDF5 areaDetector plugin to write data and attributes collected from PCO cameras. I've been able to store data and attributes using XML files to define the attributes of interest and the following for the HDF5 layout:
<entry>
<group name="Data" ndattr_default="true">
<dataset name="Images" source="detector" det_default="true"></dataset>
</group>
</entry>
My end user sees this as a 3D data array with separate attributes which seemed fine. They would however like what I think is a list of separate 2D arrays with the attributes directly connected to each array they are relevant to. I've spent some time trying to figure out how to do that via the XML layout file but not got there yet. I will continue but I am beginning to wonder whether I will have to modifiy the plugin source.
In the meantime I wondered whether anyone had an example XML layout file that might help me get the desired structure? Or advice on whether the plugin will need modifying?
Thanks
Steve
