The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 128 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 192 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.
How to read the label
A9B16C7_cF128_225_acd_2f_be-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cF128, then the space-group number 225, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Cr: 4a; Ni: 4b; Cr: 8c; Cr: 24d; Ni: 24e; Fe: 32f; Fe: 32f). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
