Flag Conversions
FlagConversions are defined to map internal quality flags to external quality flags. For each flag to be converted a conversion can be identified, but a default flag may also be given to ensure the exported or imported data carries a flag. A flag to identify missing values must also be configured. The Id used in registering the FlagConversion is the same as the name of the configuration file. When available on the file system, the name of the XML file for configuring a FlagConversions called for example NWPFlags may be:
NWPFlags 1.00 default.xml
NWPFlags | Fixed file name for the NWPFlags FlagConversions. |
1.00 | Version number |
default | Unit to indicate the version is the default configuration (otherwise omitted). |
| folder | FlagConversionsFiles |
