[http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/xscale_parameters.html XSCALE] is the scaling program of the XDS suite. It scales reflection files (typically called XDS_ASCII.HKL) produced by XDS. Since the CORRECT step of XDS already scales an individual dataset, XSCALE is only ''needed'' if several datasets should be scaled relative to another. However, it does not deterioriate a dataset if it is "scaled again" in XSCALE, since the supporting points of the scalefactors are at the same positions in detector and batch space. | [http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/xscale_parameters.html XSCALE] is the scaling program of the XDS suite.

One advantage of using XSCALE for a single dataset is that the user can specify the limits of the resolution shells. Another is that zero-dose extrapolation can be done. | |||

It is instructive to inspect DECAY.cbf (using "XDS-Viewer DECAY.cbf"). This visualizes the scale factors employed by the CORRECT step (the equivalent files from XSCALE are called DECAY_*.cbf); the right sidebar gives the mapping between shades of gray, and numbers (1000 corresponds to a scalefactor of 1). Along the horizontal axis the frame number (or rather the batch number) is shown, along the vertical axis the resolution shell. | It is instructive to inspect DECAY.cbf (using "XDS-Viewer DECAY.cbf").

To "switch on" radiation damage correction of individual reflections ([http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0907444903006516 K. Diederichs, S. McSweeney and R. B. G.

'''The CRYSTAL_NAME parameters of different datasets do not have to be different'''. If they are different, this results in more degrees of freedom (namely, the slopes of the reflection intensity as a function of dose) for the program to fit the observed changes of intensities which are induced by radiation damage. However, if the datasets are based on the same crystal, or the datasets are based on crystals from the same drop, it is reasonable to assume that the slopes are the same. | To "switch on" radiation damage correction of individual reflections ([http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0907444903006516 K.
