invalid case

example of **over-simple** 2D (image) SAS data, I(Q)

Invalid because the method of addressing the Q values is different from all the above.

SASroot
	SASentry
		SASdata
			@Q="Qx,Qy"
			@Qindices="*,*"
			@Iindices=" ??? "
			I: float[100, 512]
			Qx: float[100]
			Qy: float[512]

terms

SASroot

same use as original 1D format

SASentry

some changes from the original 1D format

SASdata

different use from original 1D format, refers to a single reduced data set that can be represented thus (such as from one detector)

SASdata has three possible attributes, as shown in this example:

@Q="Qx,Qy,Qz"
@Qindices=",*,*,time,"
@Iindices="T,Q,Q,time,P"

Commas are used as delimiters in all cases.

@Q

Comma-separated list that describes the names of the actual data objects that describe Q.

@Qindices

Comma-separated list that describes which indices are used (from the I object) to reference Q. Leave a position empty if that index is not used to describe Q, Use a "*" to describe an index that uses the Q definition. For other data storage objects, name the object for the position where it should appear.

@Iindices

Comma-separated list that describes which objects correspond to the indices of the I object. For indices that involve Q, use the term "Q" and the @Qindices attribute will provide more information.
