As a complement to the
earlier comments from George:
CrysAlisPro is the name
Oxford Diffraction uses to describe their instrument control and
data reduction software;
it writes out frames in
to XDS, (i)MOSFLM and MAR
compatible formats. In the standard Oxford Diffraction
system, the frames are
integrated by the CrysAlisPro ‘dc proffit module’ which outputs
reflections in a variety
of hkl formats (hkl, cif, mtz, Bruker). EVAL, XDS, d*TREK, CysAlisPro
and possibly other
integration programs can also process Bruker frames, but only
SAINT, EVAL and
CrysAlisPro can currently integrate the diffraction patterns of
non-merohedrally twinned
and modulated structures (in up to 6 dimensions).
For scaling, Oxford
Diffraction provides SCALE3 ABSPACK (for scaling normal and
modulated structures and
non-merohedral twins). SCALE3 ABSPACK provides a
similar functionality to
SCALEPACK, SCALA and additionally also provides a detector
sensitivity correction similar
to Wolfgang Kabsch’s XSCALE. It outputs merged or
unmerged reflection lists
in various ASCII formats that can be converted to .mtz by,
for example, the CCP4
program COMBAT. SCALE3 ABSPACK provides the empirical
corrections for
non-merohedral twins. The TWIN FINALIZER writes SHELX HKLF 5 format
.hkl files for refinement
of non-merohedral twins with SHELXL and can also produce
'detwinned' HKLF 4 format
files that can be input to CCP4 by COMBAT and then treated
in the same way as data
from untwinned crystals. These are better quality than
conventional 'detwinned'
data because TWIN FINALIZER de-convolutes overlapping reflections.

PROTEUM (and APEX) are the names Bruker uses to describe the instrument
control software; they write out frames in Bruker format. In the
standard
Bruker system the frames are integrated by SAINT which outputs reflection
records in Bruker .raw format (not to be confused with a different .raw
format produced by Bruker powder systems). EVAL, XDS, d*TREK and
possibly
other integration programs can also process Bruker frames, but only
SAINT
and EVAL can currently integrate the diffraction patterns of
non-merohedrally twinned and modulated structures (in up to 6
dimensions).
For scaling Bruker provides SADABS (for scaling normal and modulated
structures) and TWINABS (for non-merohedral twins). SADABS provides a
similar functionality to SCALEPACK and SCALA and outputs merged or
unmerged reflection lists in various ASCII formats that can be
converted
to .mtz by e.g. the CCP4 program COMBAT. TWINABS writes SHELX HKLF 5
format .hkl files for refinement of non-merohedral twins with SHELXL
and
can also produce 'detwinned' HKLF 4 format files that can be input to
CCP4 by COMBAT and then treated in the same way as data from untwinned
crystals.. These are better quality than conventional 'detwinned' data
because they use the SAINT partitioning of overlapping reflections, as
a 'restraint' in the 'refinement' of the unique reflection intensities
against the total intensities of the composite reflections (the
'observations'. We have even used the resulting data successfully for
Sulfur-SAD phasing.
I presume that the latest POINTLESS is reading the .raw files written
by
SAINT. It would be rather useful if some impartial person could compare
the data quality obtained via the SAINT-POINTLESS-SCALA and
SAINT-SADABS-(XPREP)-COMBAT routes; anyone who is using SAINT will also
have SADABS and it only takes a few seconds to run.
