Using DIALS at Diamond Light Source¶
DIALS is centrally installed on the Linux computer systems at Diamond. You can load the default version of DIALS by typing at the command line:
$ module load dials
The default version of DIALS (and xia2, etc.) is usually fixed at the start of a run, however a more recent nightly build of DIALS may be available:
$ module load dials/latest
Tutorials¶
For the following tutorials we suggest using the latest version of DIALS:
$ module load dials/latest
The thaumatin dataset used in the
Processing in Detail (Thaumatin) is centrally
available on the Diamond filesystem at
/dls/mx-scratch/dials_tutorial/i04_thaumatin/.
Using DIALS with xia2¶
As an alternative to running DIALS directly, support for DIALS has been added
within xia2. You can use xia2 just as before, simply replacing
-2d, -3d, etc. with -dials:
$ xia2 -dials /dls/mx-scratch/dials_tutorial/i04_thaumatin/
