This structure defines a physical value relative to a X axis and it is used as the DataType of the Value of XYArrayItemType. For details see 5.3.4.3.
Many devices can produce values that can perfectly be represented with a float IEEE 32 bits but, they can position them on the X axis with an accuracy that requires double IEEE 64 bits. For example, the peak value in an absorbance spectrum where the amplitude of the peak can be represented by a float IEEE 32 bits, but its frequency position required 10 digits which implies the use of a double IEEE 64 bits.
Its elements are defined in Table 30.
