• NullableLength

Implementation in Proteus Schema

All data attributes with type NullableLength (the base type of NullLength) are implemented as DEXPI generic attributes for physical quantities.

Example

Implementation in Proteus Schema

<GenericAttribute
  Format="double" ...>

Note that the <GenericAttribute> element must have a Name and an AttributeURI attribute. They depend on the data type attribute of the DEXPI class that owns the null instance NULL_LENGTH (e.g., see the implementation example for the attribute Diameter of the DEXPI class AgitatorRotor). For a null value, the attributes Units, UnitsURI, and Value must not be used.
