===dataset 2===
This is a pared-down XDS.INP (obtained by egrep -v '^ *!' XDS.INP) based upon XDS-MARCDD.INP from the XDS distribution site  - it has only those lines that are not commented out (to arrive here, one takes the steps outlined in [[Tutorial(First_Steps)]]):

The resulting output files are XYCORR.LP, INIT.LP, COLSPOT.LP, IDXREF.LP, DEFPIX.LP, INTEGRATE.LP and CORRECT.LP. Data files are XPARM.XDS (from IDXREF), and the XDS_ASCII.HKL file all of which can be downloaded from [[Media:Xds_2qvo.tar.bz2.png|here]].

===dataset 1===
This works exactly the same way as dataset 2, except that we have to replace ../../g/040707-8_2_2_1.???? by f/040707-8_2_2_1.???? where f points to the directory with the frames. All .LP files, XPARM.XDS and XDS_ASCII.HKL are [[Media:Xds 2qvo dataset1.tar.bz2.png|here]].

One candidate for optimization is MAXIMUM_ERROR_OF_SPOT_POSITION. By default this is 3.0 . In the case of these data, this default appears to be very small, because the STANDARD DEVIATION OF SPOT    POSITION (PIXELS)  is quite high (1.5 and more). This prevents XDS from using all the reflections for geometry refinement.

I found that MAXIMUM_ERROR_OF_SPOT_POSITION=6.0 significantly improved the CCmax/CCweak indicators.

==Limits==
With dataset 2, I tried to use 270 frames but could not solve the structure using the SHELXC/D/E approach. With 315 frames, it was possible.
