Hi Almudena,

you can also try mosflm as said Harry.

And you can try different setting in the XDS.INP, you can try to reduce the 
STRONG_PIXEL (because you said spots are weak) number or/and 
MINIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PIXELS_IN_A_SPOT (if the spot are small).

Objet : [ccp4bb] data processing with XDS

Dear all,

I am looking for some suggestions here. I have lately collected some datasets 
but the spots are very very weak... it is very difficult to process them. At 
times it looks like XDS is stalled or at times it just says that it can not 
interpret the lattice parameters... also while running integrate I have such a 
message after each range of images:

!!! WARNING !!! REFINEMENT DID NOT CONVERGE
                 LAST CORRECTION SHIFT WAS   9.1E-03 (should be <  1.0E-03)

I guess this is not good at all. And I wonder what to do? Is there any info 
that I can get out from these data at all? or rather not?

I wonder if the problem is to find the spots, I have tried with HKL2000 and it 
can't even find enough of them for indexing.

Any ideas are welcome.

Best wishes,

Almudena.
