Parameters for input.neo

Some features of input.neo to note:

  • Parameters not specified in input.neo are filled in by default. Default values are shown in the parameter definitions.

  • The ordering of parameters is arbitrary.

  • Lines beginning with # are comments.

  • No spaces on the left or right of the equal symbol (\(=\)) are allowed.

  • Parameters with a _MODEL specifier should normally take non-negative integer values.
