XTCE12 — HVM-004 Data Encoding definitions

Source: Hans.van.der.Meij Hans.van.der.Meij@es
Description : In a number of places in the schema it is possible to define similar/equal properties
of a parameter type.

E.g. for an IntegerParameterType definition, the sizeInBits and the signed-ness
can be be defined as attributes, and it is possible to define this type of information
in the IntegerDataEncoding child.

Please clarify which is the preferred way to specify this type of information and
what is provided by XTCE to avoid ambiguities and inconsistencies.

In any case, it is recommended to either update the specification to take out the
flagged redundancies or to update the text to clearly define the intended use.
Resolution: The document will be edited to clarify the differences between the two proprieties.
The Integer parameter type describes how to handle the parameter in the ground
software, while the Encoding integer type describes how the parameter is encoded
in either the TM or TC.

Add clarifying information in section 6.1.2.1.

In section 6.1.2.1 in the next to last paragraph (paragraph before reference to Figure 4) add clarifying information.
