Description |
Definitions of all parameters used in DELFT-FEWS |
schema location |
http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/parameters.xsd |
All time series data in DELFT-FEWS must be defined to be of one of the parameters supported. This configuration file defines the list of supported parameters, including the unit of the parameter.
Parameters are organised into ParameterGroups. All parameters within a group should have the same properties and the same units. Only parameters of the same group may be displayed in a single (sub) plot in the time series display, though this can be overruled if requested using a display template.
When available on the file system, the name of the XML file is for example:
Parameters 1.00 default.xml
Parameters Fixed file name for the Parameters configuration
1.00 Version number
default Flag to indicate the version is the default configuration (otherwise omitted).
Figure 25 Root element of the parameter definition
parameterGroup
Root element of each definition of a parameter group. Multiple entries may exist.
Attributes;
- id: Id of the parameter group. The ID must be unique.
- name: optional name for the parameter group. Used for reference only.

description
Optional description of the parameter group. Used for reference purposes only.
parameterType
Definition if the parameters in the group if these are "instantaneous" parameters or "accumulative" parameter.
unit
Unit of the parameters defined in the group. The unit may be selected from a list of units supported by DELFT-FEWS. These are generally SI units. For an enumeration of supported units see Appendix B.
usesDatum
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.
parameter
Definition of each parameter in a parameter group. Multiple parameters may be defined per group.
Attributes;
- id: Id of the parameter. The ID must be unique.
- name: optional name for the parameter. Used for reference only.
shortName
Short name for the parameter. This name will be used in the time series display and reports.
