**Status**:

  base class, extends :ref:`NXobject`

**Description**:

  A repeated parameter for a dispersion function

**Symbols**:


  **n_repetitions**: The number of parameter repetitions

**Groups cited**:
  none

**Structure**:

  .. _/NXdispersion_repeated_parameter/name-field:

  .. index:: name (field)

  **name**: (optional) :ref:`NX_CHAR <NX_CHAR>` 

    The name of the parameter

  .. _/NXdispersion_repeated_parameter/description-field:

  .. index:: description (field)

  **description**: (optional) :ref:`NX_CHAR <NX_CHAR>` 

    A description of what this parameter represents

  .. _/NXdispersion_repeated_parameter/parameter_units-field:

  .. index:: parameter_units (field)

  **parameter_units**: (optional) :ref:`NX_CHAR <NX_CHAR>` (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_repetitions]) 

    .. collapse:: A unit array associating a unit with each parameter. ...

        A unit array associating a unit with each parameter.
        The first element should be equal to values/@unit.
        The values should be SI interpretable standard units
        with common prefixes (e.g. mikro, nano etc.) or their
        short-hand notation (e.g. nm, mm, kHz etc.).

  .. _/NXdispersion_repeated_parameter/values-field:

  .. index:: values (field)

  **values**: (optional) :ref:`NX_NUMBER <NX_NUMBER>` (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_repetitions]) {units=\ :ref:`NX_ANY <NX_ANY>`} 

    The value of the parameter
