Root element SINCE 2010.01 Old root element for backward compatibility, parameters root element used instead SINCE 2010.01 Obsolete. For a spectrum use as scalar time series set with a domain parameters This parameter is used to resolve the internal stage unit and display stage unit and the name (label) that is used for the rating curve stage axis/column in the user interface This parameter is used to resolve the internal discharge unit and display discharge unit and the name (label) that is used for the rating curve discharge axis/column in the user interface SINCE 2016.01 This parameter is used to resolve the internal chainage unit and display chainage unit and the name (label) that is used for the chainage axis in user interface SINCE 2022.02. The parameter of a time series (set) is replaced (behind the screens) with this parameter to find the tide number The unit conversions id to convert from the (internal) units to the display units. This id should be available in the UnitConversionsDescriptors. Only required when a user unit is specified for a parameter group The unit conversions id to convert from the units specified in config files to the internal units for this parameter. This id should be available in the UnitConversionsDescriptors. Only required when a user unit is specified for a thresholdValuesSet, validationRuleSet or ratingCurve Since 2015.01. Reference to one of the enumerations defined above The dimension of the parameter used to indicate what quantity the values for this parameter represent. For example: time, mass, velocity, acceleration, discharge etc. The unit of the values internally stored in the data store. By specifying a display unit you can use another unit seen by the user Specify when the unit seen by the user is not the same as the unit of the values internally stored in the data store. Also specify displayUnitConversionsId above as first element in this config file. In this unit conversions the conversion from (internal) unit to display unit should be available Default accuracy (smallest increment between two values) of the calculated or measured values for all parameters in this group. Value resolution can also be specified for a single parameter (since stable build 2011.01). By default the resolution is dynamic and the values are stored as a 32 bit floating point with 6 significant digits. Floating points don't compress very well and are slow to decode. It is far more efficient to store a value as an integer with a scale factor (= value resolution). When an 8, 16 or 24 bit integer is not big enough to achieve the value resolution the default 32 bit floating point is used as a fallback. E.g. when the accuracy of a water level is half a centimeter, specify 0.005. When the accuracy of a discharge is 10 m3/s, specify 10. Should be the same as the system unit or the display unit Indicates if the parameters in the group are to be converted when toggling between local and global datum. Value is either true or false. If the value is true, the elevation defined in the location is added to the time series in the database on conversion. name="length" length="1" name="mass" mass="1" name="time" time="1" name="temperature" temperature="1" name="electricCurrent" electricCurrent="1" name="amountOfSubstance" amountOfSubstance="1" name="luminousIntensity" luminousIntensity="1" name="velocity" length="1" time="-1" name="frequency" time="-1" name="acceleration" length="1" time="-2" name="discharge" length="3" time="-1" name="momentum" mass="1" length="1" time="-1" name="force" mass="1" length="1" time="-2" name="pressure" mass="1" length="-1" time="-2" name="mass flux" mass="1" length="-2" time="-1" name="volumetric flux" length="1" time="-1" name="energy flux" mass="1" time="-3" name="surface tension" mass="1" time="-2" name="energy" mass="1" length="2" time="-2" name="power" mass="1" length="2" time="-3" name="mass density" mass="1" length="-3" name="viscosity" mass="1" length="-1" time="-1" name="area" length="2" name="volume" length="3" name="entropy" mass="1" length="2" time="-2" temperature="-1" name="electric charge" electricCurrent="1" time="1" name="electric field" mass="1" length="1" time="-3" electricCurrent="-1" name="magnetic field" mass="1" time="-2" electricCurrent="-1" name="dimensionless" E.g. when the value resolution is 0.1 the values are stored in the database with at least one decimal. Specifying a resolution makes it possible for the datastore to store the values as integers and to achieve high compression rates Long (descriptive) name of parameter (tool tip) or description Since 2024.01. Obtains allowed values from the specified location attribute Only required when different parameters are used for the forecast and historical period. The simulated historical update run, current at the moment the forecast is created, will be used for data before the start of the forecast. It is also required to configure the simulatedHistoricalModuleInstance for the forecast module instances When configured this parameter can only be used for simulated forecast time series. Since stable build 2011.01. Accuracy (smallest increment between two values) of the calculated or measured values. Value resolution can also be specified at once for all parameters in the parameter group. By default the resolution is dynamic and the values are stored as a 32 bit floating point with 6 significant digits. Floating points don't compress very well and are slow to decode. It is far more efficient to store a value as an integer with a scale factor (= value resolution). When an 8, 16 or 24 bit integer is not big enough to achieve the value resolution the default 32 bit floating point is used as a fallback. E.g. when the accuracy of a water level is half a centimeter, specify 0.005. When the accuracy of a discharge is 10 m3/s, specify 10. Should be the same as the system unit or the display unit Option to indicate if a time series of this parameter type is allowed to contain missing values when being used by a model or a transformation. When omitted this value will default to 'true'. If this is used for a transformation, then it is also required to set the option checkMissing in the inputVariable of the transformation to true.
