Category Description

    Data items in the ARRAY_DATA  category are the containers for
    the array data items described in the category ARRAY_STRUCTURE.

    It is recognized that the data in this category need to be used in
    two distinct ways.  During a data collection the lack of ancillary
    data and timing constraints in processing data may dictate the
    need to make a 'miniCBF', nothing more than an essential minimum
    of information to record the results of the data collection.  In that
    case it is proper to use the ARRAY_DATA  category as a
    container for just a single image and a compacted, beamline-dependent
    list of data collection parameter values.  In such
    a case, only the tags '_array_data.header_convention',
    '_array_data.header_contents'  and '_array_data.data' need be
  populated.

    For full processing and archiving, most of the tags in this
    dictionary will need to be populated.
