Other values, like (total rotation range)/60 or (total rotation range)/90 might also be tried.

* FRIEDEL'S_LAW=TRUE unless the multiplicity is high. A clear sign that FRIEDEL'S_LAW=TRUE is required is that the CHI^2-VALUE OF FIT OF CORRECTION FACTORS is significantly below 1 (e.g. 0.5)

If you use XSCALE to merge several XDS datasets, you should make sure that you specify in XSCALE.INP the same values for NBATCH and CORRECTIONS as you do, in XDS.INP, for the CORRECT step.
