ElementType

Package: InfrastructureTimeSeriesOpenAPIModels · Source: TimeSeries/common.json

Canonical element type of the stored array: a dtype spelling (f64, f32, i64, i32, u64, u32, u16, u8, i16, i8, bool) for plain scalars, else tuple(N,dtype) or a function-data kind (linear_function, quadratic_function, piecewise_linear, piecewise_step). It says what one timestep’s value means and how it is laid out; the physical dtype of the bytes derives from it rather than being recorded separately. linear_function occupies 2 slots, quadratic_function 3; the two piecewise kinds are ragged, with the used count in the row’s leading element.
