automar Data Processing Suite
![]() |
automar is a revolutionary program package for processing single crystal diffraction data from proteins and small molecules. It comprises a full-featured GUI that supports all programs of the automar-suite. In addition, the integration and scaling programs of the CCP4-suite (ipmosflm), the XDS-suite and the HKL(R)-suite are supported. Suitable default parameters and menu driven choices are provided wherever possible. For difficult situations, expert settings are possible, too. The time and expertise required to process data is reduced to a minimum. Data processing has never been more straightforward. Look further down for downloads... |

Highlights:
Implementation of powerful new algorithms in the indexing, data integration and data scaling programs. |
Automatic parameter selection and update in the GUI - no typing required. |
Graphical visualization of all program steps. |
Autoindexing with extremely high success rates. |
Data integration with a minimum of selectable parameters. |
Quick and easy migration between several data integration packages: marProcess/marScale, mosflm/scala, xds/xscale and denzo/scalepack. |
Standardized input and output files. |
Highly suitable for inexperienced crystallographers due to well chosen defaults. |
Program Steps:
Diffraction parameters common to all program packages are entered here, e.g. cell axes, goniometer parameters, wavelength,etc.
