!Supported detectors are:
!   SIEMENS  - (Siemens/Nicolet) multiwire detector
!    MAR     - marresearch (X-ray Research) imaging plate detector (old)
!  MAR345    - marresearch (X-ray Research) imaging plate detector (new)
!   RAXIS    - R-AXIS2 imaging plate detector
!    MAC     - MacScience imaging plate detector, ENRAF NONIUS DIP-series

! VIDEMETRIX - CCD-detector at Brandeis (designed by Walter Phillips)
!  CCDCHESS  - CCD-detector at CHESS and MAR CCD-detector at BROOKHAVEN
!
!Number of detector pixels along X & Y and their sizes; OVERLOAD is
!the maximum valid pixel contents accepted for integration in PROFIT
!For the MAR345 number of detector pixels and their sizes are implied by
!the image file name extensions (like .mar2300 or .pck2300).
