Hi,I would like to make the "particles" attribute optional. It is useless in manycases. P
Hi Pierre,We should try to minimise the number of optional items and thus the variants a data group can have. Otherwise evaluating the file becomes really difficult since one has to check every time whether a certain piece of information is present or not. The decision whether a certain piece of data is present or not should happen at the level of the data groups.
Concerning the "particles" attribute: it does not hurt to store the information (just a few bytes), but one is in real trouble if one needs it and it is missing. And I think it is good practice to store some statistical information along with averaged data.
Felix
