[phenixbb] Units in intensity?

[Tim Gruene]

Dear Murpholino,

the unit of intensity is '1' - it is the counts on the detector. The scale is 
arbitrary, you can multiply your intensity with any positive number you want, 
as long as you don't create an overflow or underflow in the computer program.
 As long as you do the same with the sigma-values, your refinement should not 
change.

Best regards,
Tim
