Version v2026.06 · Release notes
X-ray Detector Software for processing single-crystal monochromatic diffraction data recorded by the rotation method. XDS can process data images from CCD, imaging-plate, multi-wire, and pixel detectors in a variety of formats, as well as data from multi-segment detectors assembled from several rectangular components in arbitrary arrangement (see supported detectors). Detector-specific input file templates simplify the use of XDS and are provided as part of the documentation.
XDS runs under Unix or Linux on a single server, or automatically splits its task for concurrent execution by several remote hosts in a networked (NFS) environment where each host may comprise a shared-memory multiprocessor system.
