ABSORB : Absorption corrections

astar [a] spherical absorption A* values
tbar [a] spherical T values
diff [a] diffractometer description
orient [a] crystal orientation
orface [b] microscope orientation
facept [b] face described by three points
face [b] face described by \(\chi \), \(\phi \), and distance
faceom [b] face described by \(\chi \), \(\phi \), \(\omega \) and distance
faceml [b] face described by Miller indices anddistance
grid [c] Gaussian grid description

[a] Optional according to mode: diff and orient are mandatory for Gaussian and analytical corrections and are in fact order dependent (the diff line MUST precede the orient line for correct operation)

[b] Only one of the methods orface, facept, face or faceml may be used to specify the faces of the crystal.

[c] Used only for the Gaussian integration method.

[a] See the Diffractometer description in ABSORB for the method to be used in determining the sense of rotation for each diffractometer circle.

orient 1-3 hkl indices of first orienting reflection  
  4 angle χ of first orienting reflection [a]  
  5 angle φ of first orienting reflection  
  6-8 hkl indices of second orienting reflection  
  9 angle χ of second orienting reflection

[a] If the orface - facept method is used for entering face data, two orface lines must be used. The first contains the coordinates of three points on a plane parallel to the first orienting reflection given on the orient line. The second orface line contains the coordinates of three points on a plane parallel to the second orienting reflection given on the orient line.
