-...+Open [[software:​dioptas|Dioptas]],​ go to the tab //​Calibration//​ (left side, vertical text) and open the image of your calibration material (click on ''​Load file''​ in the top right corner)In ''​Calibration parameters'',​ enter your ''​Start values''​ (for your sample-detector distance, use a good guess)Make sure to also change the ''​Calibrant''​ drop-down menu to the material you were using. Leave the other values as they are. 
 + 
 +Now click the ''​Calibrate''​ button in the bottom left of the screen. Check if the white lines get straight and if the appearing red circles match the white lines of your data. Check also if the ''​Fit2D parameters''​ on the right show realistic values. If something seems odd check if you forgot something or if you loaded the wrong image. 
 + 
 +If everything seems to be correct you can click the ''​Refine''​ button in the bottom left repetitively until you are satisfied with the result. Then save the result by clicking ''​Save calibration''​ in the bottom right. It's also useful to make a screenshot of the Fit2D parameters for easier access later.

-...+Start [[software:​maud|MAUD]] and open the calibration material with the MAUD plugin (click [[software:​maud|here]] for a description).
  
 +Then you can do a normal Rietveld refinement in MAUD to obtain the exact instrument parameters. When you are done save the whole analysis as a file. There is also a way to save the instrument parameters separately but this sometimes doesn'​t work. The safest way to load the instrument parameters in the future is to load the whole analysis and change the phase and the sample. In a future analysis you don't refine the instrument parameters anymore.

 To do this, you should first have a look at your calibration image with Fabian. Check the intensities of the rings and the background (values at the bottom right of the Fabian window). Estimate a threshold value which clearly separates the background from the ring intensities. To do this, you should first have a look at your calibration image with Fabian.
