Q: How does one define the beam stop shadow?  Is it possible to develop a simple method, e.g. the ignore circle and ignore rectangle of HKL2000?

A: VALUE_RANGE_FOR_TRUSTED_DETECTOR_PIXELS= masks shaded portions, and variation of its first parameter (values between 6000 and 9000) may be used to obtain the desired result (check with "XDS-Viewer BKGPIX.cbf"). UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE= is probably the same as is available in HKL2000. UNTRUSTED_CIRCLE may be implemented soon.

A: yes. You can define several SPOT_RANGE= keyword/parameter pairs, e.g. SPOT_RANGE=1 1 SPOT_RANGE=90 90 . Most likely it will be even better with SPOT_RANGE= 1 90 . Also see [[Indexing]].

A: No. The INIT step uses the first 5 degrees (by default) for a number of purposes (check out the files written by INIT !). BKGINIT.cbf is essentially used only for scaling purposes; the ''real'' background calculation just requires those frames which have the reflections that are integrated.
