Binning with metadata generation, and storing into a NeXus file#

In this example, we show how to bin the same data used for example 3, but using the values for correction/calibration parameters generated in the example notebook 3, which are locally saved in the file sed_config.yaml. These data and the corresponding (machine and processing) metadata are then stored to a NeXus file following the NXmpes NeXus standard (https://fairmat-experimental.github.io/nexus-fairmat-proposal/9636feecb79bb32b828b1a9804269573256d7696/classes/contributed_definitions/NXmpes.html#nxmpes) using the ‘dataconverter’ of the pynxtools package (FAIRmat-NFDI/pynxtools).
