 ==== Calibration in MAUD ====
-Open [[software:maud|MAUD]], mark the
+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. Move the cursor across the image while checking 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.
+Next, you can perform a [[processing:search_for_peaks|Peaksearch]].
+In [[software:fabian|Fabian]], you can visualize the peaks by clicking ''CrysTools'' -> ''Peaks'' -> ''Read peaks''. At this point you usually realize that the threshold assumed previously was only semi-correct. But don't worry, you might still be able to use these peaks. The intensities of the standard material can vary a lot depending on 2theta angle. Just perform another Peaksearch with a different threshold that covers the peaks you didn't get before. When you have two or three files that contain the 10-15 innermost rings, you are fine. Now, you can either choose the most promising file or merge them with the script ''merge_flt.py'' (can be found in ImageD11 on GitHub).
+Then, you can load the peak file into [[software:imaged11|ImageD11]] (click ''Transformation'' -> ''Load filtered peaks''). Click ''Transformation'' -> ''Edit parameters'' and enter all values which you know for certain. These are usually the cell parameters (make sure to use the same standard as in Fit2D/Dioptas and MAUD!), O-Matrix, omegasign, wavelength and pixel size. For the sample-detector distance and the beam center enter the values you obtained from Fit2D/Dioptas*. Leave the other values as they are. Now activate the check boxes for //distance, t_x, t_y, t_z, tilt_x, tilt_y, tilt_z, y_center// and //z_center// (deactivate all others) and click ''Ok''.

-Click ''Transformation'' -> ''Plot tth/eta''. Now click ''Transformations'' -> ''Fit'' repetitively until the lines are very straight, even when you zoom in.

 For a last check-up you can click ''Transformation'' -> ''Add unit cell peaks''. The red tick marks should match the green lines of peaks perfectly.
