Test Datasets
DECTRIS provides various test data sets for download in cbf-format (PILATUS detectors) and HDF5/NeXus-format (EIGER detectors).
Access
You can download the files via the links below or by accessing our ftp-server with the following credentials:

EIGER
After downloading, please unpack the archives to obtain EIGER test datasets in HDF5 format. For processing, use the XDS.INP provided, the metadata in master.h5 or the data collection parameters shown in the table below.
- ✓ EIGER_X_4M_lyso.tar.bz2 (1.2 GB, compressed with LZ4) EIGER_4M_XDS.INP
- ✓ EIGER_16M_Oct2015.tar.bz2 (5 GB, compressed with LZ4) EIGER_16M_XDS.INP
EIGER with bit-shuffle LZ4 compression
In Nov 2015, a new version of the EIGER firmware was released that supports bit-shuffle LZ4 compression, which results in a substantially reduced file size. New versions of H5ToXds and ALBULA to work with these data have been released.
- ✓ EIGER_9M.tar.bz2 (2.9 GB, compressed with bit-shuffle LZ4) EIGER_9M_XDS.INP
- ✓ EIGER_16M_Nov2015.tar.bz2 (4.1 GB, compressed with bit-shuffle LZ4) EIGER_16M_PSI_XDS.INP

Please note that these datasets were collected with detectors running different versions of the firmware (as indicated). The extent of recorded metadata thus differs slightly. For more information on the final implementation of the experimental metadata, please check the NeXus section.
PILATUS
After downloading, please unpack the archives to obtain PILATUS test datasets (CBF images). For processing use the parameters shown in the table below.
- ✓ P2M_ref_insff.tar.bz2(566 MB)
- ✓ P6M_ref_th02c.tar.bz2(1.38 GB)
| Filename | Oscillation angle [°] | t [s] | Images | ? [Å] | Detector | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
