Field | Card. | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
origin | 1..1 | Quantity | The base quantity that a measured value of zero represents. In addition, this provides the units of the entire measurement series. |
period | 1..1 | Decimal | The length of time between sampling times, measured in milliseconds. |
factor | 0..1 | Decimal | A correction factor that is applied to the sampled data points before they are added to the origin. |
lowerLimit | 0..1 | Decimal | The lower limit of detection of the measured points. This is needed if any of the data points have the value "L" (lower than detection limit). |
upperLimit | 0..1 | Decimal | The upper limit of detection of the measured points. This is needed if any of the data points have the value "U" (higher than detection limit). |
dimensions | 1..1 | Integer | The number of sample points at each time point. If this value is greater than one, then the dimensions will be interlaced - all the sample points for a point in time will be recorded at once. |
data | 1..1 | String | A series of data points which are decimal values separated by a single space (character u20). The special values "E" (error), "L" (below detection limit) and "U" (above detection limit) can also be used in place of a decimal value. |
