[NeXus-tech] NXdetector manual

[Mark Koennecke]

Eugen,

hold on. I branched the nexus-definitions and now have a manual which uses
interfaces. Which happens to make NXdetector far more manageable. I, too
have found a selection of rather dubious fields in NXdetector. Though I 
have a different set
then you.

I did this now because I had the time to do so. But I would rather 
prefer to keep this
bag of worms closed for the moment in order to get the PX definition 
forward. I intended to
get this discussed after the PX stuff and well before the NIAC Meeting. 
Interfaces, IMHO,
require discussion and a vote by the full NIAC.

If you are interested, checkout 
https://svn.nexusformat.org/definitions/branches/interfaces,
build a manual and have a look.

Regards,

             Mark
