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.
