Strategy

Strategy is a program to aid in data collection strategy. You can run it after indexing the first frame using DENZO. Given the space group, it determines the spindle angle to start the data collection at. Strategy has been written by Raimond Ravelli (Bijvoetcentrum, Utrecht). John Skinner (Brookhaven National Laboratory) has written a Graphical User Interface to reduce the use of strategy to 2-button-step process. These GUIs are daily used at NSLS Beamline X12C

An SGI executable of the program can be obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp.chem.uu.nl Please mail any comments and/or questions concerning strategy to Raimond Ravelli (ravelli@chem.uu.nl).
