NASA Ames Data Format: FFI 4010


Symbols used

Xs sth independent variable (s from 1 to 4). Its values are real.
X1, X2 and X3 are the bounded independent variables, X4 is the unbounded independent variable.
Only X4 is recorded in the data section of the file. X1, X2 and X3 are recorded in the file header (see Metadata Format 4010).
NXs Number of values of Xs for s < 4
NV Number of primary dependent variables
NAUXV Number of auxiliary dependent variables
Vn nth primary variable
Aa ath auxiliary variable (depends on X4 only — independent of X1, X2 and X3). Its values are real.

Condensed notation
