** for many Bravais | ** for many Bravais types (defined at [http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/cifdic_html/2/cif_sym.dic/Ispace_group.Bravais_type.html]), there are several possible point groups (tp and tI: 4, 422; hP: 3, 6, 312, 321, 622; hR: 3, 32; cP, cF and cI: 23 and 432) and thus several possible space groups. In these cases, each point group has to be tested: the SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER has to be changed to one of those consistent with the point group, and the CORRECT step re-run. | ||

* finally decide on the correct Bravais lattice and point group by comparing R-factors (in particular R_meas), and, from there, come up with possible space groups by looking at the table of systematic absences along the h,0,0 0,k,0 and 0,0,l axes of the diffraction pattern. | * finally decide on the correct Bravais lattice and point group by comparing R-factors (in particular R_meas), and, from there, come up with possible space groups by looking at the table of systematic absences along the h,0,0 0,k,0 and 0,0,l axes of the diffraction pattern. | ||
