Quick start guide

If you don’t like reading manuals and just want to get started, try:

xia2 pipeline=dials /here/are/my/images

or:

xia2 pipeline=3d /here/are/my/images

(remembering of course atom=X if you want anomalous pairs separating in scaling.) If this appears to do something sensible then you may well be home and dry. Some critical options:

Option	Usage
atom= X	tell xia2 to separate anomalous pairs i.e. I(+) \(\neq\) I(−) in scaling
pipeline=dials	tell xia2 to use DIALS
pipeline=dials-aimless	tell xia2 to use DIALS and Aimless
pipeline=3d	tell xia2 to use XDS and XSCALE
pipeline=3dii	tell xia2 to use XDS and XSCALE, indexing with peaks found from all images

If this doesn’t hit the spot, you’ll need to read the rest of the documentation.
