[NeXus-committee] Vote on introducing NXdetector_module

[Tobias.Richter at diamond.ac.uk]

This is the conclusion of the solution to record multiple detector modules as initiated by DECTRIS. For more background see the mailing list archive http://lists.nexusformat.org/pipermail/nexus/2012/thread.html and the Wiki:

After the recent discussions we now come to a binding vote on whether we want to introduce NXdetector_module. In the last non-binding vote we basically ruled out the two other new options ("Use NXgeometry" and "NXdetector_element"). The existing "General Case" (recording every pixel location) and "SNS Usage" (splitting modules into separate detectors) remain possible. But NXdetector_module arguably fulfils a different use case. 

The vote will close in two weeks on Wednesday, 5th December 2012 at noon GMT.
