[Nexus] NeXus facility survey

[Andrew GOETZ]

Hi Tobias,

here are the answers for the ESRF :

Facility Name: ESRF - The European Synchrotron

Facility Logo URL: 
http://www.esrf.eu/files/live/sites/www/files/Common/logo.png

Total number of beamlines/instruments:  40

NeXus is written on this many beamlines/instruments: 2

HDF5 can be optionally written on almost all ERF BLs but is currently 
only being done by ID21 and ID2. For the Full Field XANES application on 
ID21 there is an option to write out files with a Nexus-wise application 
definition extension. This has been necessary because there exists none 
for Full Field XANES in NEXUS.

NeXus is the primary format for this many of them: - None

We are using the following back ends (valid choices HDF5, HDF4, XML): HDF5

Any migration plans for the future: moving from local formats to NEXUS 
via HDF5: EDF to HDF5/Nexus

Recent developments: HDF5/Nexus support integrated into LIMA detector 
readout framework

We use the following software packages to browse, analyse or process 
NeXus: PyFAI and PyMca

The following application definitions are in use here: - None

An average NeXus file contains this many datasets: - 1

We use NAPI for writing: - No

For reading: - h5py

Regards

Andy + Claudio
