XDS Program Package

X-ray Detector Software for processing single-crystal monochromatic diffraction data recorded by the rotation method. For a description of the package, including references, visit xds_doc.

XDS can process data images from CCD-, imaging-plate-, multiwire-, and pixel-detectors in a variety of formats. Detector specific Input file templates greatly simplify the use of XDS; they are provided as part of the documentation.

XDS runs under Unix or Linux on a single server or automatically splits its task for concurrent execution by several remote hosts in a networked (NFS) environment where each host may comprise a shared memory multiprocessor system.

XDS is free of charge for non-commercial applications and available here for downloading. Note, that the executables of the package will expire on June 30, 2008. For industrial usage of XDS a license is required (e-mail enquiry : Wolfgang.Kabsch@mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de).
