Other values, like (total rotation range)/60 or (total rotation range)/90 might also be tried. | * [http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/xds_parameters.html#NBATCH= NBATCH]= (total rotation range)/45 ! to reduce the number of scale factors; the value of NBATCH is shown as NXBIN in CORRECT.LP for the ABSORB and DECAY correction; default is (total rotation range)/5.

* 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. | 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. | ||
