Mnemonics Database

We store our mnemonic defintions within a flat CSVtab delimited plain text format. The format has evolved over time to support required functionality.

The first row contains the header. The header defines the columns contents. The columns can be in any order.

TheEach Requiredrow columndefines indicatesa ifsingle mnemonic and is uniquely identified by the DATA_ID. DATA_ID is also often refered to as Housekeeping ID or HKID for shorthand.

If required, the column ismust required.exist Thebut valuerow values may still be empty. Empty values will be default initialized.
