**align_detector** refines the detector geometry based on the calibration data
written by **indexamajig**. The refinement takes into account all the
inter-dependencies between crystal orientations, cell parameters and the panel
-positions, but is nevertheless very fast. This is achieved using the
+positions, as if a single large minimisation had been performed with all frames
+at once. The algorithm is nevertheless very fast - this is achieved using the
Millepede-II algorithm. For more information, see
