Detector failure

battaile Thursday November 12, 2015

A module in the Pilatus failed after the completion of data collection Tuesday Nov 10 and the start of collection Wed Nov 11.

An example image is available here: https://www.imca.aps.anl.gov/~battaile/IMCA/dummy_0001.cbf

If you are using autoPROC, this is the command line option you need to use to mask out the bad module:

autoPROC_XdsKeyword_UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE="0 486 848 1042"
 
If you are running XDS by itself, insert the following in your XDS.INP file:
 
UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE=0 486 848 1042
 
We are now processing at the beamline using the autoPROC option to mask out the bad module.
 
Dectris seems confident that this can be repaired on-site in under 2 hours. We are going to try to scheudle this for a machine studies day.
