Re: [ccp4bb] puzzle of reference zone in HKL2000

Thank you! There is no exact definition of the reference zone in the
HKL2000 manual. Given a reciprocal lattice observed from one direction,
there may be several RotXYZs to reach it. It might be that the reference
zone is a sampling parallelogram from the real space used to determine the
orientation difference with its counterpart(s) in reciprocal space that has
been established by reverse projecting of spots from the CCD to the Ewald
sphere. Thanks a lot!

Best wishes,

 I guess it is not space group related.
 they were introduced to maintain a precision of calculationI guess, so to
 choose and alternative orientation were trigonometric parameters
 are in the region were small change in angle does not bring large change
 in the trigonometric function (or vice versa)

 Hi everybody! I met with a problem when I was reading the HKL2000 online
 manual. It's the reference zone setup in the Step 11: What is the
 reference zone? How is this useful? (page 38, figure 38). Does anybody
 know the definition of reference zone, and why the reference zone setup
 window seems always contain the same 10 options, h0l, hk0, l0h, kh0, ...,
 0-kl? Thanks.
