2.2.1 Overview of the $<$FileData$>$ Tag

The FileData section defines all the parameters in the legacy file; the process used for reading and writing these parameters will then be defined in the FileStructure section (Section 2.3).

The FileData section is declared using the FileData element. The FileData element has no attributes.

$\parbox{6.3in}{\textcolor{blue} {\textbf{Example \hrulefill}}\\ \pa... ...\lq\lq PRNAME'' and a floating number named \lq\lq AGE'' \\ \textcolor{blue}{\hrulefill}}$

The FileData section must contain one or more String, Integer, Float, or Array elements in any order. The following attributes are common to each of these elements:

Attribute Name	Description	Required
name	Name of the parameter. This name is used as an identifier so other parts of the document can reference this parameter; therefore, it must be unique	yes
description	Description and/or documentation of this parameter. Note that this will be treated as markup, which means that HTML entities will have to be used to represent reserved characters such as <, >, etc.	no
units	Units of this parameter	no
group	Defines which parameters group this parameter belongs to. Might be used by the processor to display parameters hierarchically	no
