 +Information in the ''​prm''​ file are
 +  * **Cell parameters**:​ cell_a, cell_b, cell_c in Angstrom; cell_alpha, cell_beta, cell_gamma in degrees (typically taken from [[software:​maud|Maud]] refinement and can be [[processing:​compute_gvectors|refined using ImageD11]])
 +  * **Lattice type**: P = primitive, F = face-centered,​ A = A-centered, ...
 +  * **Distance** = sample-detector distance in µm (typically taken from [[software:​maud|Maud]] refinement and can be [[processing:​compute_gvectors|refined using ImageD11]])
 +  * **O-matrix** (check the [[dac_experiments:​geometry|concept of the O-matrix]] if you are not sure)
 +  * **Omegasign** = rotation direction (1 = clockwise, -1 = counterclockwise)
 +  * **Tilt**: Be careful with this one: Tilt in ImageD11 is sometimes not the same as tilt in other software! (usually keep 0 and [[processing:​compute_gvectors|refined later using ImageD11]])
 +  * **Wavelength** in Angstrom
 +  * **y_size**, **z_size**: size of one pixel in y direction and z direction in µm
 +  * **y_center**,​ **z_center**:​ pixel coordinates of the beam center (usually taken from [[software:​dioptas|Dioptas calibration]]:​ ''​y_center = Dioptas Center X''​ and ''​z_center = 2048 - Dioptas Center Y''​ and can be [[processing:​compute_gvectors|refined using ImageD11]])
 +  * Supplementary optional parameter **cell_sg**. You can also provide your material space group. This has to be done manually with a text editor and can not be done using the Graphical User Interface. If the space group is provided, ImageD11 will use xfab for generate unique hkls.
