• “TYPE”: It represents the type of the measured object (CIRCLE, POINT, DISTANCE, etc.)
• “NAME”: It represents the name of the measured object
• “ACTUAL”: It represents the actual value of the measured object
• “NOMINAL”: It represents the nominal value of the measured object
• “DEVIATION”: It represents the deviation of the measured object
• “LOWERTOLERANCE”: It represents the lower limit of the tolerance of the measured object
• “UPPERTOLERANCE”: It represents the upper limit of the tolerance of the measured object
• “OUTOFTOLERANCE”: it represents the amount out of tolerance of the measured object if present
• “DESCRIPTION”: to be implemented
• “OUTPUTTYPE”: the characteristic sent to output
