You can also do this in XDSCONV.INP simply change the output to what you prefer

Renato Hi Renato, have a look at the first example: http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/Xscale A minimal input file to combine two datasets into one file is: OUTPUT_FILE=fae-native.ahkl INPUT_FILE= ../fae-native/xds_1/XDS_ASCII.HKL INPUT_FILE= ../fae-native/xds_2/XDS_ASCII.HKL Jürgen ......................

I collected two data sets of the same crystal, both of which scaled individually with CORRECT from XDS. Merging of reflexes should be done with AIMLESS. Also to obtain a more comprehensive data statistic. So I fed both data sets into AIMLESS with the option ONLYMERGE. But I think that both data sets were not scaled to each other (which indeed is no surprise with key ONLYMERGE). So, my question is the following: what is the right order to scale and merge multiple datasets with XDS/AIMLESS. The output from XSCALE is a file with suffix .ahkl. Is it the same format like .hkl and does it fit into AIMLESS? I really appreciate your valuable sugestions. Kind regards, Renato
