Processing of [https://www.dectris.com/EIGER_X_Features.html Eiger] data is different from processing of conventional data, because the frames are wrapped into [http://www.hdfgroup.org HDF5] files (ending with .h5). | Processing of [https://www.dectris.com/EIGER_X_Features.html Eiger] data is different from processing of conventional data, because the frames are wrapped into [http://www.hdfgroup.org HDF5] files (ending with .h5). However, with the [https://github.com/dectris/neggia NEGGIA plugin for XDS], processing is as straightforward as before. | ||

Since the release of NEGGIA, a plugin for XDS that parallelizes the reading of images from HDF5 data, conversion to H5ToXds is not required anymore. The sections below are thus largely obsolete. | |||
Dectris provides a library [https://www.dectris.com/news.html?page=2 H5ToXds] (Linux only!) which is needed by XDS. That program converts (as the name indicates) the HDF5 files to CBF files; however, it does not write the geometry and other information into the CBF header (therefore, [[generate_XDS.INP]] does not work with these files). As an alternative, one could use GlobalPhasing's hdf2mini-cbf program (needs autoPROC license) or, from http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/imosflm/ver721/downloads, the eiger2cbf-osx or eiger2cbf-linux program written by T. Nakane. These programs do write a useful CBF header. | Dectris provides a library [https://www.dectris.com/news.html?page=2 H5ToXds] (Linux only!) which is needed by XDS.
