No. The INIT step uses the first 5 degrees (by default) for a number of purposes (check out the files written by INIT !). BKGINIT.cbf is essentially used only for scaling purposes; the ''real'' background calculation just requires those frames which have the reflections that are integrated. | No. The INIT step uses the first 5 degrees (by default) for a number of purposes (check out the files written by INIT !).

When this value is set large (eg. 50 degree), no diffraction spots can be seen. It seems that only the large value produces a "real" background image. But both these two scenarios produce nearly the same results (data statistics). Do I need to always change the BACKGROUND_RANGE so that there are no diffraction spots in the BKGINIT.cbf? === | ||
No. Again, BKGINIT.cbf is | No. Again, BKGINIT.cbf is used only for scaling purposes and masking the beamstop (in DEFPIX); the ''real'' background calculation just requires those frames which have the reflections that are integrated. Normally you don't worry about BACKGROUND_RANGE; just use the default! You need only increase the BACKGROUND_RANGE if you have so low background that a) even 5° of data produces many zero pixels in BKGINIT.cbf (but this is highly unlikely), or b) if shadowed parts of the detector are not visible in BKGINIT.cbf when viewed with xds-viewer. | ||
