# visualize BKGINIT.cbf (from [[INIT]]), or FRAME.cbf (from [[COLSPOT]]) with [[XDS-Viewer]], and click (left-mouse) into the middle of the beamstop shadow (or the attenuated direct beam itself, if it is recorded). Use the pixel coordinates displayed by [[XDS-Viewer]] as ORGX ORGY (in principle you should add 1 to both numbers, because for XDS-Viewer the pixels go from 0 to NX-1 whereas for XDS they go from 1 to NX).<br />Instead of these files written by XDS, one could directly use a measured frame. | # visualize BKGINIT.cbf (from [[INIT]]), or FRAME.cbf (from [[COLSPOT]]) with [[XDS-Viewer]], and click (left-mouse) into the middle of the beamstop shadow (or the attenuated direct beam itself, if it is recorded).

(If XDS-Viewer does not know the format, it will ask for NX, NY, and the size of the header. The latter is usually <size of frame in bytes>, minus 2*NX*NY .) | ||

# use MOSFLM for visualization. It prints out X BEAM and Y BEAM from the frame header, and you may click on the hypothetical direct beam position. However, ''x and y are swapped in MOSFLM when compared to XDS'', and the coordinates are in mm, not in pixels (so one has to divide by QX). Sometimes the X BEAM and Y BEAM from the header are not reliable. | # use MOSFLM for visualization.
