3.3.4.3.4 Data Sets.

Multi-dimensional sets of data can be described using the curve type. The curve type is the preferred data format of MINIMOS-NT [5] for describing I/V-Data (see Appendix C on page [*] for a detailed discussion). Nevertheless, the file format associated with the curve type is very well suited for the representation of multi-dimensional data in general, and can easily be understood. Since elaborate models for processing of curve data are available (curve-calculator-model, curve-to-file-model, curve-to-vector-model), its application is highly encouraged.
