HKL-2000 - program suite for
oscillation data processing
The HKL-2000 suite of programs is designed to
analyze monochromatic X-ray diffraction data. The programs
have been written by
Dr. Zbyszek Otwinowski (Southwestern Medical Center,
University of Texas) and
Dr. Wladek Minor (University of Virginia). The HKL-2000
suite consists of the following programs:
- DENZO_3D - Auto-indexing, refinement
and integration
- XDISPLAYF - Image display and measurement
- SCALEPACK - Data scaling
- STRAT - Strategy and simulation
- HKLINT - Graphical Command Center
The HKL-2000 package development is supported by the
NIH grant GM-53163 to the laboratories of Dr. Zbyszek Otwinowski
(Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas) and Dr. Wladek Minor (University
of Virginia). The HKL-2000 program package available at the X8C. beamline
is provided on the basis of scientific collaboration between the X8C
and the laboratories of Drs. Otwinowski and Minor.

The plan for further specific implementation of HKL-2000
on NSLS beamlines (including detector calibration, beam line and detector
diagnostic) is contingent upon funding by the NSLS grant to the program
authors' laboratories.

Jr. and R.M. Sweet, Eds., Academic Press.
Documentation
The HKL Manual, Edition 5 (September, 1998), available at
the beamline.
Also available are: the
on-line version (pdf format) of the manual and searchable
lists of
Denzo and
Scalepack keywords.
Availability
Version 0.95 installed at the beamline X8C
is for processing of the data collected on ADSC CCD Quantum-4 detector
systems.
Experimenters from academic and non-commercial institutions
, may use the program for data evaluation and processing
while collecting data at the beamline.
Experimenters from commercial and for-profit institutions
who want to use the program for data evaluation and processing
while collecting data at the beamline must have an appropriate
commercial HKL license, that includes the 'synchrotron
license'. The license can be obtained from HKL
Research, Inc.
The version for data re-processing at home labs is expected
to be ready sometime in this year.
