NXsubentry is a base class virtually identical to NXentry
and is used as the (overlay) location for application definitions.
Use a separate NXsubentry for each application definition.
To use NXsubentry with a hypothetical application definition
called NXmyappdef:
Create a group with attribute
NX_class="NXsubentry".
Within that group, create a field called
definition="NXmyappdef".
There are two optional attributes of definition:
version and URL
The intended use is to define application definitions for a
multi-technique NXentry. Previously, an application definition
replaced NXentry with its own definition.
With the increasing popularity of instruments combining
multiple techniques for data collection (such as SAXS/WAXS instruments),
it was recognized the application definitions must be entered in the NeXus
data file tree as children of NXentry.

This is the flightpath before the sample position. This can be determined by a chopper,
by the moderator or the source itself. In other words: it the distance to the component
which gives the T0 signal to the detector electronics. If another component in the
NXinstrument hierarchy provides this information, this should be a link.
Notes describing entry
A small image that is representative of the entry. An example of this is a 640x480
jpeg image automatically produced by a low resolution plot of the NXdata.
The value should be an "image/*"
