Data acquisition packages developed at different small angle scattering facilities use different formats both for raw and processed data storage. To facilitate the data exchange between laboratories, a consensus in the small angle scattering community has been reached on an ASCII format for one‐dimensional data which includes a self‐describing header containing relevant information about the sample and instrumental conditions followed by raw or reduced data in a tabular form. This format called sasCIF was implemented as an extension of core CIF (Crystallographic Information File) dictionary.
