:If this line is omitted (''and SECONDS=0''), the whole DATA_RANGE is used. This is usually a good way to proceed. If there is radiation damage, I would advise to use the first half of the DATA_RANGE as SPOT_RANGE. The SPOT_RANGE in principle may comprise a single frame. <br />Attention: if SECONDS= has a parameter >0, a small SPOT_RANGE will be used if SPOT_RANGE is not explicitly provided!

:the default is 3, but 4 may be more appropriate, to prevent many noise pixel from being picked up.

:minimumum pixel distance between spots. This setting results in an upper limit to the longest primitive cell axis that IDXREF would find, so SEPMIN should be less than X-RAY_WAVELENGTH*DETECTOR_DISTANCE/(longest_primitive_cell_axis*QX). The default is 6; for Pilatus data one might need to lower this to 4 or even 2, for long axes. You can check what the longest permitted axis is, by taking the reciprocal of what is printed out in IDXREF.LP as the value of "MINIMUM ALLOWED DISTANCE BETWEEN REC. LATTICE POINTS".
