tankdata

Occurrence

optional, multiple

Attributes

id=unique identifier for this tank data

Description

Inside the <tankdata> section information concerning a breathing gas consumption calculation is put into brackets. As many as needed <tankdata> elements can appear one after the other, but all have to stand after the <mix> elements.

Parent Elements
