[phenixbb] sca file & anomalous difference map: understanding the story from the scratch,

Hi Haytham,

It is important to differentiate between "unmerged" and "anomalous":

unmerged means "each measurement of each reflection kept with the original
indices"
merged means "measurements mapped to the unique set and averaged"

anomalous means "keep Bijvoet pairs separate, consider them separate
reflections"
non-anomalous means "consider Bijvoet pairs as repeat measurements of the
same reflection"

So your first data file is "merged" and is "anomalous". Your second I
can't tell for sure but if you have anomalous off, it is probably merged
non-anomalous.

So for your anomalous difference map you can use a merged or an unmerged
file, but it must be anomalous data.

I hope that helps!
