Exact time slices used from the time array of the measurement source data. The time slice is indicated for each measurement point considered in the fit since measurements may come from different and thus asynchronous diagnostics. If the time slice does not exist in the time array of the source data, it means linear interpolation has been used

In case the measurements are averaged over a time interval, this node is the full width of this time interval (empty otherwise). In case the slicing/averaging method doesn’t use a hard time interval cutoff, this width is the characteristic time span of the slicing/averaging method. By convention, the time interval starts at time_measurement-time_width and ends at time_measurement.

List of URIs corresponding to the rows (1st dimension) of the covariance matrix. If not all indices of a given node are used, they must be listed explicitly e.g. rows_uri(i) = pf_active:1/coil(i) will refer to a list of indices of the occurrence 1 of the pf_active IDS of this data entry. If the rows correspond to all indices of a given vector it is sufficient to give a single URI where this vector is denoted using the (:) implicit notation, e.g. rows_uri(1) = /grid_ggd(3)/grid_subset(2)/elements(:).
