Yes, CAD is limited to 9 input files. I seem to remember I once tried to increase the limit, but got into problems (it is not just a case of increasing MAXFILES). It is far simpler and safer to run CAD iteratively.
But an MTZ file can hold more. The current limits are: #define MXTALS 100 #define MSETS 1000 #define MCOLUMNS 10000 In principle, we could remove these limits, but I guess they are ok in most normal cases ... m On Wed, 2010-11-03 at 18:20 +0100, Rita GIORDANO wrote: > Hello, > 9 mtz files are the limit of CAD, one things you can do is to modify the > source file , that is wrote in fortran, or write a bash script or that > run iteratively the CAD script and change the MTZ files. > > R. > > On 03/11/2010 18:11, Francis E Reyes wrote: > > CCP4'ers, > > > > Are 9 datasets the maximum for an mtz file? or a single run of cad?
