You must know the type of detector your data were collected on. Then visit the [http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/xds_prepare.html XDS Homepage], download the appropriate template and rename it to [[XDS.INP]].

* '''Pixel Size'''  Find out the number of pixels of your detector. A very good program to find this is [http://www.scripps.edu/~arvai/adxv.html adxv] (also see the wiki article [[adxv]]): It allows to view the image header where these numbers often can be found.

* '''Adjusting JOB Card''' Make a copy of the '''JOB''' line in [[XDS.INP]] for reference. Comment out one line by putting a exclamation mark "!" at the beginning of the line and prepare the other one to run the steps from XYCORR to CORRECT.[[Image:XDS_INP_adjustingJOB.jpeg|200px|Adjusting the JOB card in XDS.INP]]

* '''ORGX and ORGY''' Unless you can guess the direct beam position on the images, ''e.g.'' from ice rings, set both these values to half the detector size. In the case of this example, where the MAR-CCD is 3072x3072 pixels, this means

If it deviates by more than 1-2mm from the input distance, check all your parameters again. Is the wavelength really correct, as well as the distance? If you are sure about them, try indexing with only a few images
