== What is XDS, and how to obtain it? ==
XDS is a program package written for the "reduction" of 2-dimensional data images ("frames") obtained from crystals irradiated with monochromatic X-rays. The package mainly consists of the programs [[XDS]] (which processes a single dataset), [[XSCALE]] (for scaling of several datasets) , and [[XDSCONV]] (for conversion of a reflection output file to other formats). Additional auxiliary programs are [[cellparm]], [[2cbf]] and [[merge2cbf]]. [[XDS-viewer]], for visualizing frames, can be downloaded separately (see [[Installation]]).

The program is free for academic use, and can be downloaded from http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/downloading.html (if the download from that site fails, there's a copy at https://{{SERVERNAME}}/xds ).

An open-source viewer [[XDS-Viewer]] is [http://xds-viewer.sourceforge.net available] for visualization of the control images written by [[XDS]] (and [[XSCALE]]). Latest versions of [[Adxv]] can also visualize XDS output files.

There is another program available, which serves to produce additional output of tables and plots. This is not part of the official XDS package; its name is [[XDSSTAT]] (written and distributed by Kay Diederichs). Yet another program that produces frame-wise (for XDS_ASCII.HKL) or dataset-wise (for XSCALE.HKL) CC<sub>1/2</sub> statistics is [[XDSCC12]].
