NumVals (Number of Historical Values)

The number of historical values (time series) of the field to output. For example, if the values of the field through time were (oldest to newest):

10.1,10.2,10.3,10.4,10.5,10.6,10.7

Then NumVals = 4 with Decimation =1 would give:

10.4, 10.5,10.6,10.7

NOTE: The Newest_First parameter of GOESTable determines whether newest or oldest data are output first.

Beginning with OS 10, if NumVals is 0, new output is appended to the output table in the order set by the Fields_Scan_Order parameter of the GOESTable instruction. For example:

NumVals Fields_Scan_Order Output Appended To:
0 False End of last line
0 True Separate line

Type: Constant or Variable
