Dear All, There has been much discussion of XDS efficiently reading HDF5 data - this is of course highly desirable though not sufficient for the correct processing of the data.
One thing which I think could very much help the community would be to have data published from beamlines where Eiger detectors are in use, including the following: - a *photograph* of the beamline showing the orientation of the detector and principle rotation axis - a single rotation scan e.g. of thermolysin or some other easy-to-solve-by-SAD structure Between these there is sufficient information to ensure that the geometry of the experiment described in the headers (master file) is correct. While XDS does not use this, and many beamline systems generate an XDS.INP file, in the future this record of the experiment in the master file may be all that remains and so ensuring that this is correct seems like a very good idea. So - beamline people - how do you feel about the above? Clearly this will also help with software people making sure data from your beamline process correctly!
