In the previous examples only some of the parameters in the experiment file have been explained. A complete list of available parameters is shown in Table 4.4. Some of these values are directly passed to the optimizer executable and therefore described in the appropriate sections. The column ``type'' indicates if this parameter is only available for the least-squares algorithm (l) or for the nonlinear constrained optimizer (d) or for both (b).
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| model | b | The file name of the model which has to be evaluated. |
| free | b | A list of names of parameters which can be controlled by the optimizer. These names must exist as an input port of a model. The values for the start, minimum and maximum value are taken from the definitions of the model. |
| target | b | The target function of the evaluated model. This name must exist as and output port of a model. For a nonlinear constrained optimization problem the output port must be a scalar and for a least-squares problem it must be a vector. |
| dimension | l | The dimension of the target vector can be assigned with this optional parameter. If it is omitted the dimension is probed by a model evaluation before starting the optimization process. |
| tolerance | l | See Table F.2. |
| equality-constraint | d | This variable assigns the equality constraints which have to satisfied by the optimizer. The given list of names selects the output ports of the evaluated model passed to the optimizer. |
| inequality-constraint | d | Assigns the inequality-constraint described in equality-constraint |
| tau0 | d | See Table H.1. |
| del0 | d | See Table H.1. |
| nreset | d | See Table H.1. |
| epsdif | d | See Table H.1. |
| gradient | b | See Table H.1 or Table F.2. |
| log | b | The file name or an optional log-file can be given here. In this file all evaluation requests are written. |
| dump | b | In this file the curves are stored. This is very useful for batch execution. |
| chkptfile | b | With this variable the file name where an image of the optimizer memory is dumped can be set. For more information see Section 4.5.2 and Table H.1 or Table F.2. |
