Constraints Information Dialog
All refinable parameters are classified in four types: Global parameters, Profile parameters, Atomic parameters and Propagation vectors.
New Constraint Relation
Use this option to add a new Constrain relation. This is the representative for others refinable parameters containing the same code.
When you click on this button, you will have a new window
You can select your refinable parameters from a list depending of the classification (Global, Profile,…..). To make appear a parameter in the proposed list it is necessary that the corresponding refinement checkbox is marked: make the parameter refinable. For a correct operation, the selected refinable parameters will be a “parent” and the user need to define one or more “childs” (other refinable parameters associated to this representative parameters).
Normaly the factor F for the representative variable is 1.0, but may be any real number in the range [-9.99, 9.99]. That means a the resulting shift of the “parent” parameter after solving the least squares equations is multiplied by F to obtain the shift to be applied to the refinable “child” variable.
Add Constraint
Add a refinable parameter to a “parent” refinable parameters.
Delete Constraint
Delete a constraint relation. The parameter continue to be refinable but now the code is not associated to a “parent” code.
Modify Constraint
Modify the factor of the selected refinable parameter.
