== Using combat ==
== How to switch off scaling in CORRECT ==


If one wants to completely switch scaling off in CORRECT, use
MINIMUM_I/SIGMA=50
CORRECTIONS=
NBATCH=1
in [[XDS.INP]]. MINIMUM_I/SIGMA=50 prevents the sigmas from being adjusted. This also prevents outlier rejection and geometry refinement. Since the latter may be desired it would be most appropriate to use MINIMUM_I/SIGMA=50 only after [[Optimization]] (re-cycling of GXPARM.XDS to XPARM.XDS). Prevention of outlier rejection would be also obtained by using (e.g.) WFAC1=2. NBATCH=1 removes any basic scaling done by CORRECT (as referred to by [http://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2012/05/00/tz5002/index.html Krojer and von Delft]).


An example script (contributed by Clemens Vonrhein) to convert XDS_ASCII.HKL into a [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk CCP4] multi-record MTZ file is:
A good option might be to make CORRECT only do MODULATION correction since this is not easily available in SCALA:
CORRECTIONS= MODULATION
This can also be combined with NBATCH=1.

In this way one gets the well-known outputs of [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/scala.html SCALA] and [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/truncate.html TRUNCATE], and the MTZ file junk_truncated.mtz .
[[pointless]] produces a multi-record MTZ file (suitable for SCALA/aimless and TRUNCATE) from XDS_ASCII.HKL, or the XSCALE reflection output file (see also "[ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/6.0.2/prerelease/runningpointlessandscala.pdf Running Pointless and Scala]"). Note that this may use [[XDS]] for some or most of the scaling.
(see above for how to switch off scaling in [[XDS.INP]], partly or fully).


== Using pointless ==
pointless -copy xdsin XDS_ASCII.HKL hklout XDS_ASCII.mtz
aimless hklin XDS_ASCII.mtz hklout junk_scaled.mtz | tee aimless.log


An alternative way of going from a XDS formatted reflection file to a multi-record MTZ file (suitable for SCALA and TRUNCATE, but not directly for structure solution which requires single-record MTZ files) is via the [[pointless]] program
Obviously, the aimless run can be modified using suitable options.
(see also "[ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/6.0.2/prerelease/runningpointlessandscala.pdf Running Pointless and Scala]"). Note that this way also means that [[XDS]] is used to do most of the scaling (because XDS_ASCII.HKL is written by [[CORRECT]]) but this could be switched off in [[XDS.INP]] (partly or fully).
It's very easy to do:


pointless -copy xdsin XDS_ASCII.HKL hklout XDS_ASCII.mtz
See below for how to run TRUNCATE.


The advantage of this route is, that the batch headers of the resulting MTZ file are correct - [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/combat.html COMBAT] doesn't seem to write complete and accurate headers. If one then needs to edit the batch information in this file, the CCP4 program [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/rebatch.html REBATCH] can be used (optional):
