Name

independentVarRef — References a predefined signal as an input to a function

Content model

independentVarRef :  varID,  [min],  [max],  [extrapolate],  [interpolate]
     EMPTY

Attributes

varID

- the internal XML identifier for the input signal

min

(optional) - the allowable lower limit for the input signal

max

(optional) - the allowable upper limit for the input signal

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 independentVarRef more fully describes the input mapping of the function by pointing to a separate breakpoint definition element. 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, quadratic or cubic splines). This allows common breakpoint values for many tables.
