Dear Charles and other Xplor users,

I am using PRE data to determine protein structure, but I don't understand how 
the Q factor is calculated. An detailed example is shown below.
As shown below, the output file says the Q-factor for Cysp107hn is 0.944. 
However if I calculate the Q-factor using  Q=sqrt(sum(diff^2)/sum(obs^2)), then 
Q is 0.4512.
Can anybody help me figure out the problem? Thanks in advance.
