== How to switch off scaling in CORRECT ==
If one wants to completely switch scaling off in CORRECT, use
MINIMUM_I/SIGMA=50
CORRECTIONS=
NBATCH=1
in [[XDS.INP]]. MINIMUM_I/SIGMA=50 prevents the sigmas from being adjusted. This also prevents outlier rejection and geometry refinement. Since the latter may be desired it would be most appropriate to use MINIMUM_I/SIGMA=50 only after [[Optimization]] (re-cycling of GXPARM.XDS to XPARM.XDS). Prevention of outlier rejection would be also obtained by using (e.g.) WFAC1=2. NBATCH=1 removes any basic scaling done by CORRECT (as referred to by [http://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2012/05/00/tz5002/index.html Krojer and van Delft]).
A good option might be to make CORRECT only do MODULATION correction since this is not easily available in SCALA:
CORRECTIONS= MODULATION
This can also be combined with NBATCH=1.
== Using pointless and aimless ==
[[pointless]] produces a multi-record MTZ file (suitable for SCALA/aimless and TRUNCATE) from XDS_ASCII.HKL, or the XSCALE reflection output file (see also "[ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/6.0.2/prerelease/runningpointlessandscala.pdf Running Pointless and Scala]"). Note that this may use [[XDS]] for some or most of the scaling.
(see above for how to switch off scaling in [[XDS.INP]], partly or fully).
pointless -copy xdsin XDS_ASCII.HKL hklout XDS_ASCII.mtz
aimless hklin XDS_ASCII.mtz hklout junk_scaled.mtz | tee aimless.log
Obviously, the aimless run can be modified using suitable options.
See below for how to run TRUNCATE.
If one then needs to edit the batch information in this file, the CCP4 program [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/rebatch.html REBATCH] can be used (optional):
rebatch hklin XDS_ASCII.mtz hklout XDS_ASCII_rebatch.mtz <<end_ip
BATCH ALL START 1001
BATCH ALL PNAME Lysozyme XNAME Hg-Soak DNAME peak
end_ip
sortmtz hklout sortmtz.mtz <<end_ip
H K L M/ISYM BATCH
XDS_ASCII_rebatch.mtz
end_ip
Note: another program to work with those multi-record MTZ files is [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/reindex.html REINDEX].

== Using pointless ==
 
An alternative way of going from a XDS formatted reflection file to a multi-record MTZ file (suitable for SCALA and TRUNCATE, but not directly for structure solution which requires single-record MTZ files) is via the [[pointless]] program
(see also "[ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/6.0.2/prerelease/runningpointlessandscala.pdf Running Pointless and Scala]"). Note that this way also means that [[XDS]] is used to do most of the scaling (because XDS_ASCII.HKL is written by [[CORRECT]]) but this could be switched off in [[XDS.INP]] (partly or fully).
It's very easy to do:
 
pointless -copy xdsin XDS_ASCII.HKL hklout XDS_ASCII.mtz
 
The advantage of this route is, that the batch headers of the resulting MTZ file are correct - [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/combat.html COMBAT] doesn't seem to write complete and accurate headers. If one then needs to edit the batch information in this file, the CCP4 program [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/rebatch.html REBATCH] can be used (optional):
 
rebatch hklin XDS_ASCII.mtz hklout XDS_ASCII_rebatch.mtz <<end_ip
BATCH ALL START 1001
BATCH ALL PNAME Lysozyme XNAME Hg-Soak DNAME peak
end_ip
sortmtz hklout sortmtz.mtz <<end_ip
H K L M/ISYM BATCH
XDS_ASCII_rebatch.mtz
end_ip
 
Note: another program to work with those multi-record MTZ files is [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/reindex.html REINDEX].
