CCD detectors: XDS only reads "unwarped" Bruker "sfrm" format frames; unwarping can be done within the Bruker software called Proteum2. See also [[ccp4com:Bruker_data|Bruker data]].

PHOTON detectors: XDS natively reads their .cbf files, and [[generate_XDS.INP]] generates XDS.INP for PHOTON II.

Tim Grüne provides a program <code>sfrmtools</code> at [https://homepage.univie.ac.at/tim.gruene/research/programs/conv/sfrmtools/] that extracts parameters relevant for data processing with XDS from headers of .sfrm files. See [https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=CCP4BB;ce43e97e.1907] .

The SFRM file format used to be written by CCD detectors. XDS correctly reads them if they are "unwarped"; unwarping can be done within the Bruker software called Proteum2. See also [[ccp4com:Bruker_data|Bruker data]].

For such files, [https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=CCP4BB;ce43e97e.1907 Tim Grüne] provides the program <code>sfrmtools</code> at [https://homepage.univie.ac.at/tim.gruene/research/programs/conv/sfrmtools/]. It extracts parameters relevant for data processing with XDS from the header. The output should be saved in a file - only three more keyword/parameter lines are required for a minimal XDS.INP, namely e.g.
Additional ones can of course be used to modify the operation of XDS, e.g.

JOB= CORRECT

INCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGE=50 2.5

== CBF files ==

New detector types (optionally?) write CBF files, which XDS natively reads. [[generate_XDS.INP]] generates XDS.INP for CBF data written by the PHOTON II detector.
