2cbf

2cbf is part of the XDS distribution. It converts any image file format that is know to XDS to a miniCBF file. This program is also used by XDSGUI.

For 2cbf to work with the http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/xds_parameters.html#LIB= LIB= option, it is mandatory to have a filename like test_123456.xy, i.e. with a 6-digit number and a 2-letter extension. If you want to use LIB= and your filenames do not follow this pattern, just symlink them, and construct the symlinks accordingly: e.g.

#!/bin/bash
# purpose: create symlinks for xds_par
# usage: mklinks

for j in $(seq 1 120); do
  ln -sfn Data_02_$(printf "%04d" "$j").sfrm Data_02_$(printf "%06d" "$j").sf
done

echo ready

If you don't do this, you'll get an error message like
