Sir, Thank you Sir. I tried this once at the end in order to check the refinement statistics, R, Rfree and FOM showed improvement. but I encountered one problem. One of the a nomalous scatters which had double occupancies (which was confirmed by anomalous peak search) after the refinement of occupancy using "SAD data directly" it turned out that the sum of the refined occupancies of this atom was more than 1. Why is it so? What might have gone wrong here?
