Description
For now, white beam, histogram mode detector data doesn't come with shutter-speed(exposure time).
Per measurement (per file) it doesn't change, but it can vary in different files.
The current normalization method doesn't take it into account.
Update From ECDC
ECDC will add this field as a NXlog and it'll be somewhere under the detector group such as /orca/acquire_time

Research direction
Start by locating the normalization entry point and inspecting how detector data is read from the detector group, including the proposed /orca/acquire_time NXlog field. Confirm how exposure time varies between files and consider the normalization behavior needed so files with different exposure times are comparable.
