Update the MET User's Guide to specify the data types in each output line type table #3032
Description
Describe the Task
As requested by @randytpierce via an email to @JohnHalleyGotway on Dec 5, 2024, update the MET User's Guide to add a new column to the output line type tables to indicate the data type. Basically, indicate whether each output column contains an integer, float, or string. This information makes it clear and obvious to users how the data from each output column should be parsed.
