Possible workflows when using the software suite. Path A goes directly from the diffraction pattern to either the Equator or the Projection Traces modules for analysis of the equatorial and off-meridional diffraction patterns. Path B introduces Quadrant Folding as the first step of the analysis prior to Equator or Projection Traces. Path C adds an additional step after quadrant which estimates the diffuse background intensity distribution that is then subtracted from the diffraction pattern prior to analysis with Projection Traces. MuscleX modules are indicated by red boxes, other operations by black boxes and output parameters by purple boxes. Note that global background subtraction is usually not necessary or helpful prior to analysis with Equator. Note that it is possible to use the total intensity in the estimated background for scaling data from different patterns so they can be compared.
