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]]). | XDS is a program package written for the "reduction" of 2-dimensional data images ("frames") obtained from crystals irradiated with monochromatic X-rays.

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. | An open-source viewer [[XDS-Viewer]] is [http://xds-viewer.sourceforge.net available] for visualization of the control images written by [[XDS]] (and [[XSCALE]]).
