Issue 9038: HVM-004	Data Encoding definitions (xtce-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Source:	Hans.van.der.Meij	Hans.van.der.Meij@es
	Description :	In a number of places in the schema it is possible to define similar/equal properties
	 of a parameter type. 
	
	E.g. for an IntegerParameterType definition, the sizeInBits and the signed-ness 
	can be be defined as attributes, and it is possible to define this type of information 
	in the IntegerDataEncoding child.
	
	Please clarify which is the preferred way to specify this type of information and 
	what is provided by XTCE to avoid ambiguities and inconsistencies. 
	
	In any case, it is recommended to either update the specification to take out the 
	flagged redundancies or to update the text to clearly define the intended use.
	Resolution:	The document  will be edited to clarify the differences between the two proprieties. 
	The Integer parameter type describes how to handle the parameter in the ground 
	software, while the Encoding integer type describes how the parameter is encoded
	 in either the TM or TC.
