public final class ParameterTable
extends Object

Performs operations related to loading parameter tables stored in files. Through a lookup table (see readParameterTableLookup) all of the supported Parameter Tables are known. A parameter consists of a discipline( ie Meteorological_products), a Category( ie Temperature ) and a number that refers to a name( ie Temperature)
