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 | 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 used for scaling purposes and beamstop masking (in DEFPIX); the ''real'' background calculation just requires those frames which have the reflections that are integrated. | ||
=== I can see many diffraction spots in the BKGINIT.cbf when the BACKGROUND_RANGE is set default (first 5 degree images). 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? === | === I can see many diffraction spots in the BKGINIT.cbf when the BACKGROUND_RANGE is set default (first 5 degree images).
