The family drivers are a clutch to help when your file system do not 
support more then 2GB file size.
Logically it is still one HDF-5 file. One reason for the DECTRIS aproach 
is to solve the SWMR issue
which HDFgroup will only resolve at times unknown. Each of the separate 
data files is closed and can
be read while  DAQ is still ongoing. There were also performance reasons.
