Definition:

            The value of _diffrn_detector.number_of_axes gives the
                   number of axes of the positioner for the detector identified
                   by _diffrn_detector.id.

                   The word 'positioner' is a general term used in
                   instrumentation design for devices that are used to change
                   the positions of portions of apparatus by linear
                   translation, rotation or combinations of such motions.

                   Axes which are used to provide a coordinate system for the
                   face of an area detetctor should not be counted for this
                   data item.

                   The description of each axis should be provided by entries
                   in DIFFRN_DETECTOR_AXIS.
