XTCE13 — Add forward/reverse calibrator metadata

Description Kevin Rice 2007-10-22 21:48:47 BST
Some organizations wish to capture counts to units on the telemetry side & then
units to counts on command side (often called reverse or inverse calibrators).
In some cases they may wish to both for various reasons, often in testing
scenarios to validate their operation calibration. XTCE does not provide an
easy way to mark a calibrator as either 'reverse' or 'forward'.

Bi-directional calibrators scopes to a 2.0 proposal

The request to add forward/reverse calibration to types is a significant change to the XTCE data model. This type of change is useful, but should not be done by a minor revision task force. It is also a challenge for the vendors at this time such, even if XTCE supported this feature. This would need to be something that is handled by a potential 2.0 RFP.
