== What is XDS, and how to obtain it? == | |||
XDS is a program package written for the "reduction" of 2-dimensional data images ("frames") obtained from crystals irradiated with monochromatic X-rays. The package mainly consists of the programs XDS (which processes a single dataset), [[XSCALE]] (for scaling of several datasets) , [[XDSCONV]] (for conversion of output file to other formats) and [[VIEW]] (for visualizing). | |||
The author of the program is Wolfgang Kabsch (Wolfgang dot Kabsch at mpimf-heidelberg dot mpg dot de). | |||
The program is free for academic use, and can be downloaded from http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/downloading.html . | |||
Documentation is at http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds . | |||

== Purpose of the Wiki == | |||
The purpose of this Wiki is to provide an accurate resource for XDS users, and to provide explanations and hints for the successful use of XDS. I (Kay Diederichs) try to keep the Wiki up-to-date with XDS versions and insights. I collect [[Tips and Tricks]] for XDS usage, explanations of its output, and recommendations for the parameters in [[XDS.INP]] (if it appears useful to deviate from their defaults). | |||
To see what's there already, go to [[Special:Allpages|List of all pages]]. A good starting point is the article about [[XDS.INP]] where the keywords and parameters for running XDS are described. There is also a [[wishlist]], and [[Known Bugs]], and [[Quality Control]] (under construction). | |||
== Contributing to the Wiki == | |||
* The MediaWiki software used here works in the same way as the well-known Wikipedia. This means that anyone with a [[Creating an account|userid and password]] can edit existing pages, and create new ones. | |||
