Content model

independentVarPts :  varID,  [name],  [units],  [sign],  [extrapolate],  [interpolate]
     (#PCDATA)

Attributes

varID

- the XML id of the input signal corresponding to this independent variable

name

(optional) - the name of the function's independent variable input signal

units

(optional) - the units of measure for the independent variable

sign

(optional) - the sign convention for the independent variable

extrapolate

(optional) - extrapolation flags for IV out-of-bounds (enumerated)

  • neither

  • min

  • max

  • both

interpolate

(optional) - Interpolation flags for independent variable (enumerated)

  • discrete

  • linear

  • quadraticSpline

  • cubicSpline

Description

An independentVarPts element is a simple list of breakpoints and contains a mandatory varID identifier as well as optional name, units, and sign convention attributes. An optional extrapolate attribute describes how to extrapolate the output value when the input value exceeds specified values. An optional interpolate attribute indicates how to perform the interpolation within the table (using discrete [or stairstep], linear, cubic or quadratic splines). This element is used for simple functions that don't share breakpoint or table values with other functions.
