_type_conditions

Name:
'_type_conditions'

Definition:

   Codes defining conditions on the _type specification.

   'su' permits a number string to contain an appended standard
   uncertainty number enclosed within parentheses. E.g. 4.37(5)

   'esd' is a deprecated synonym for 'su', arising from the
   former use of the term 'estimated standard deviation'
   for 'standard uncertainty', and permitting a number string to
   contain an appended standard deviation within parentheses.
   E.g. 4.37(5)

   'seq' permits data to be declared as a sequence of values
   separated by a comma <,> or a colon <:>.
      * The sequence v1,v2,v3,. signals that v1, v2, v3, etc.
        are alternative values.
      * The sequence v1:v2 signals that v1 and v2 are the boundary
        values of a continuous range of values satisfying the
        requirements of _enumeration for the defined item.
   Combinations of alternative and range sequences are permitted.
