I think that that it was intended to describe how one did calibration as well.

Yes. special_details
is there to capture how the instrument was calibrated, as well as other information that is pertinent to the calibration, such as hardware and software changes that are then transparent to the experiment.
I think
PD_CALIBRATION
should stay, but be updated a bit.The pupose of
PD_CALIBRATION
is to provide a free-text method of stating the equation used to convert between channel or position and 2\q/E/d/TOF/whatever. Given free-reign to rename it, it would probably bePD_CALIB_XCOORD_EQUATION
, but that's (I think) an unnecessary complication.It isn't necessary to be machine-readable, as you can just give the conversion directly in the data listing, as
From the given data, the conversion is given on a on-to-one basis.
.
The category currently consists of
_pd_calibration.conversion_eqn
, and_pd_calibration.special_details
The category delegates the task of recording the source of the calibration information to
_pd_calib_std.external_block_id
.I would expand the category by adding
_pd_calibration.diffractogram_id
_pd_calibration.ref_diffractogram_id
