--== FLASH HDF5 structure ==
++== The new (starting 2021) HDF5 format ==
--The photon diagnostic, electron diagnostic and beamline information as well as the information about the pump-probe laser and the infrastructure offered for users (GHz/MHz ADCs) can be included in one HDF5 file which is organised according to train IDs. The general structure is:
++\\
++FLASH provides a conversion of its data acquisition (DAQ) to the commonly used [[HDF5>>url:https://www.hdfgroup.org/solutions/hdf5/||shape="rect"]] format. Correlated  data are mapped by a primary index called **train ID**. Every data set has an individual index of train IDs to identify the data even when data are missing or deviate in update rate.If the data set of choice contains gaps,  users have to decide how to treat missing values. DAQ channels are spread across various files with one file name pattern for each DAQ. This means users have to assemble data from different files if necessary.
++
++The hierarchy is realized using a human readable named HDF tree with each DAQ channel containing the data sets "//value//" and "//index//". Additionally, the HDF group //zraw// contains a tree of the original DAQ channel names.
++
++Reference implementation, which follows the concept of Python libraries like Pandas, Xarray, or Dask, is given below.
++
++\\
++
++{{expand title="Discontinued HDF formats"}}
++== Comparison to FLASH's deprecated HDF formats ==
++
++Before 2021, FLASH provided two different HDF formats formally known as //near-online// and //offline// HDF files.
++
++All data sets were aligned by the same global index by filling in missing data. Fast DAQ channels  (pulse synchronous data - update 10 Hz) are filled in by NaN or 0, slow channels (not pulse synchronous data - update e.g. 1 Hz ) are interpolated by the DAQs libraries, by keeping the value constant up to the next change.
++
++While the near-online HDF files were converted live during the beamtime, the offline HDF files were manually compiled weeks/months later. Near-online HDF files were used by a provided API [[BeamtimeDaqAccess>>url:https://confluence.desy.de/display/FLASHUSER/Near-Online+data+analysis#Near-Onlinedataanalysis-BriefUserGuidetoBeamtimeDAQAccess||shape="rect"]], which also searches for DAQ channels in files. With assembled files "by run", all DAQ channels were existing in the same HDF file. While shorter runs usually fitted into one file, longer runs still had to be aggregated over several files. The creation of the assembled type of files still involves the use of fairly unstable DAQ Mex-functions As the environment required for using the Mex-functions is already deprecated, its continued existence is uncertain.
++
++The HDF hierarchy is almost identical in all formats. While in the the recent format each DAQ channel contains the data sets "value" and "index", the deprecated format had one data set for each DAQ channel. The deprecated formats supplies no time axis parameters for spectra data types.

  All values for the GMD are also available for the** HALL GMD **which is located in the experimental hall down stream the gas attenuator. If the attenuator is on the ratio between Hall and Tunnel signal shows the attenuation. **BUT NOTE** that the filter unit and the Aperture 4 are downstream the GMD. So if filters and aperture are used this influence is NOT measured by the GMD hall !
