Hi Simon,

my understanding of origin in this context was wrong. Your advise makes 
sense and I ran the reconstruction succesfully by setting the values 
--proj_iso_x=-202.3 --proj_iso_y=-202.3. I didn't investigate the result 
further, but at first glance it is a big step ahead for me. Regarding 
the source_y value, It is given in the test.pca and also in the test.pcj 
file (please check the dropbox).
Similar to the value of the ZSample=180.611687 (which is SID) the value 
of YSample is given by YSample=-16.412937. My understanding is that this 
should be the SourceOfsetY. However, in my first attempt today, I didn't 
use that argument.

Many thanks for helping me.

Best Regards,
Milan
