<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d like to subscribe to this email list. I’m not sure if it is appropriate to ask a technical question here, but here is one anyway (I hope it’s OK):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question about the Python Nexusformat/NeXpy nxload method.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I seem to have problems reading data entries that have been defined using links. That is, the method returns an NXlink object rather than the actual data:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">n.entry1.default.ic1monitor<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Out[143]: NXlink('['/entry1/instrument/ic1monitor/ic1monitor']')<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I use h5py directly then I get the dataset:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">h['/entry1/default/ic1monitor']<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Out[144]: <HDF5 dataset "ic1monitor": shape (10001,), type "<f8"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this expected or am I doing something wrong? I read in the manual that all data are specified via links so there is no distinction between the 'original' data and a link. Is that right?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Steve Collins (Diamond Light Source)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">P.S. I can send you the data files and Python code of course, if that helps.<o:p></o:p></p>
