11.3 Input/Output Data Source Information
Every user of FASST will not have all of the input data needed. As a result, FASST
either uses default values or calculates the parameters internally. If a default value is
employed, a flag of "1" is written to this file along with the variable name and the
corresponding value. If the model calculates the parameter, a flag of "2" is written to the
file along with the name of the variable. An example of such a file for the Grayling, MI,
input data is shown in Figure 5 of the FASST User's Manual (Frankenstein 2004). As a
default this file is named "inferred.out."
