Interferometer diagnostic

Notation of array of structure indices: itime indicates a time index; i1, i2, i3, ... indicate other indices with their depth in the IDS. This notation clarifies the path of a given node, but should not be used to compare indices of different nodes (they may have different meanings).

ids_properties/provenance/node(i1)/reference(i2) List of references used to populate or calculate this node, identified as explained below. In case the node is the result of of a calculation / data processing, the reference is an input to the process described in the "code" structure at the root of the IDS. The reference can be an IDS (identified by a URI or a persitent identifier, see syntax in the link below) or non-IDS data imported directly from an non-IMAS database (identified by the command used to import the reference, or the persistent identifier of the data reference). Often data are obtained by a chain of processes, however only the last process input are recorded here.
