In case of a crystal with an unknown space group (SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=0 in [[XDS.INP]]), XDS (since [http:// | In case of a crystal with an unknown space group (SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=0 in [[XDS.INP]]), XDS (since [http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/Release_Notes.html version June 2008]) helps the user in determination of the correct space group, by suggesting possible space groups compatible with the Laue symmetry and Bravais type of the data, and by calculating the R<sub>meas</sub> for these space groups. | ||
XDS (or rather, the [[CORRECT.LP|CORRECT]] step) makes an attempt to pick the correct space group automatically: it chooses that space group which has the highest symmetry (thus yielding the lowest number of unique reflections) and still a tolerable R<sub>meas</sub> compared to the R<sub>meas</sub> the data have in any space group (which is most likely a low-symmetry space group - often P1). | XDS (or rather, the [[CORRECT.LP|CORRECT]] step) makes an attempt to pick the correct space group automatically: it chooses that space group which has the highest symmetry (thus yielding the lowest number of unique reflections) and still a tolerable R<sub>meas</sub> compared to the R<sub>meas</sub> the data have in any space group (which is most likely a low-symmetry space group - often P1). | ||

One can also manually force a specific indexing, using the REIDX= keyword, but this is error-prone. | One can also manually force a specific indexing, using the REIDX= keyword, but this is error-prone. | ||
