Symbols used

Xs sth independent variable (s = 1 or 2). Its values are real.
X1 is the bounded independent variable, X2 the unbounded independent variable.
Only X2 is recorded in the data section of the file. X1 is recorded in the file header (see Metadata Format 2010).
NX Number of values of X1
NV Number of primary dependent variables
NAUXV Number of auxiliary dependent variables
Vn nth primary variable
Aa ath auxiliary variable (depends on X2 only — independent of X1). Its values are real.
