Does this IOC have ability to write out HDF5 files?
The MEDM screen for "File format" only has two options:
TIFF
Invalid
Am I missing HDF5 plugin in the st.cmd file or this IOC does not work with it?

There are 2 different ways that areaDetector can write files:

  • Using the vendor's file writing capabilities
  • Using areaDetector plugins

The Pilatus vendor file writer is limited to TIFF and CBF. The ADPilatus driver then reads the TIFF or CBF file, puts the data in an NDArray, and calls all registered plugins. The HDF5 plugin can then be used to write the NDArray to an HDF file. It is in the Plugins/File/HDF5 file menu.
