Generate XDS.INP

This script generates XDS.INP based on a list of frame names supplied on the commandline.

Currently works for MarCCD, ADSC and Pilatus 6M detectors. Also supports bzip2-ed frames (when specifying the frame names, leave out the .bz2 extension, as documented for XDS!).

Installation: ask your system adminstrator to cut-and-paste it into e.g. /usr/local/bin/generate_XDS.INP , and to make it "executable". Usage is then just (don't forget the quotation marks!):

generate_XDS.INP "frms/mydata_1_???.img"

But you may also just cut-and-paste the script from this webpage into e.g. your home directory; the filename should be generate_XDS.INP. After creating the file, make it executable - e.g. if it's in your $HOME, use:

chmod +x ~/generate_XDS.INP

After that, you can just run it in the same way:

~/generate_XDS.INP "frms/mydata_1_???.img"

By using your own file, you can easily update to the latest revision, or even change the script, without having to bother the system administrator.

Instead of cut-and-paste, you could try

wget http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/generate_XDS.INP -O - | awk '/^#/,/rm -f tmp1 tmp2/' | \
  sed -e s/\&nbsp\;/\ /g -e s/\&gt\;/\>/g -e s/\&lt\;/\</g -e s/amp\;//g -e s/\&quot\;/\"/g > generate_XDS.INP

to copy the script from this website into the file generate_XDS.INP in your current directory.

This is the script:

#!/bin/bash
# purpose: generate XDS.INP
#
# tested with some datasets from ALS, SSRL, SLS, ESRF and BESSY; only MARCCD, ADSC/SMV, PILATUS 6M detectors; 
# for other detectors, values marked with XXX must be manually filled in.
#
# revision 0.03 . Kay Diederichs 2/2010 
# revision 0.04 . Kay Diederichs 4/2010 - include alternative ORGX, ORGY calculations for ADSC
# revision 0.05 . Kay Diederichs 5/2010 - grep for "Corrected" in addition to "marccd"; needed for BESSY 
# revision 0.06 . KD 6/2010 - add UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE and UNTRUSTED_ELLIPSE; use `whereis catmar` and so on 
# revision 0.07 . KD 6/2010 - decide about ORGX/Y info in MAR header being pixels or mm; other fixes
# revision 0.08 . KD 6/2010 - fixes for Pilatus 6M
# revision 0.09 . KD 6/2010 - get rid of requirement for mccd_xdsparams.pl and/or catmar; rather use "od"
# revision 0.10 . Tim Gruene 7/2010 - set link 'images' to image directory if path exceeds 72 characters
# revision 0.11 . KD 7/2010 - for MarCCD: look for distance info at different byte position
# revision 0.12 . KD 7/2010 - fix for negative PHISTART
# revision 0.13 . KD 8/2010 - store correct NX NY QX QY in XDS.INP

# revision 0.16 . KD 3/2011 - SENSOR_THICKNESS=0.01 for ADSC and MarCCD. Add comment about SILICON=
# revision 0.17 . KD 3/2011 - make it work for .bz2 frames; improve screen output

#
# usage: e.g. generate_XDS.INP "frms/mydata_1_???.img"
# make sure to have the two quotation marks !
# the ? are wildcards for the frame numbers.
# 
# limitations:
# - frame numbers are assumed to start with 1 and run consecutively
# 
# known problems:
# - for ADSC detectors, there are at least three ways to obtain ORGX and ORGY values from the header (see below);
# - the same might be a problem for MAR headers, too (not sure about this)
#
# notes for debugging of the script:
# - add the -v option to the first line, to see where an error occurs
# - comment out the removal of tmp1 and tmp2 in the last line
