/**
 * Logical grouping of detector elements.
 * This class is used to allow a logical
 * grouping of detector elements (e.g. which tube, bank or group of banks) to be
 * recorded in the file. As well as allowing you to e.g just select the "left" or
 * "east" detectors, it may also be useful for determining which elements belong to the
 * same PSD tube and hence have e.g. the same dead time.
 * For example, if we had "bank1" composed
 * of "tube1", "tube2" and "tube3" then group_names would be the string "bank1,
 * bank1/tube1, bank1/tube2,bank1/tube3" group_index would be {1,2,3,4} group_parent
 * would be {-1,1,1,1}
 * The mapping array is interpreted as
 * group 1 is a top level group containing groups 2, 3 and 4
 * A ``group_index`` array in
 * ``NXdetector`` gives the base group for a detector element.
