 Data from the 32 detector banks were converted to a pseudo-single
  detector format using 2-point linear interpolation, after
  correcting for variable detector height masking and detector
  sensitivity, as well as two-theta offset. Where needed, a
  constant was added or subracted to the data in each detector
  as determined by integrating the overlapped regions, to compensate
  for background variations.
A Chebyshev polynomial fit was calculated for the absorption correction
 factors for successive values of theta (the factors were taken from
the International Tables of X-ray Crystallography, Vol. II, p. 295-297)
;
_pd_proc_info_excluded_regions
;
The region from 3.00 to 10.00 was excluded from the refinement
as no reflections were present in this range.
The region from 153.50 to 167.95 was excluded to ensure that the
highest angle data were at the background level.
