In NXentry, the duration field is specified as NX_INT. Must this value be confined to integers?

prjemian commented 1 year ago

I would like it changed to NX_NUMBER.

I would agree with this change. NX_INT seems like a poor fit. Perhaps @mkoennecke has a comment or known some esoteric reason?

No esoterics here, NX_NUMBER is the better choice.
