Property Name	Allowed type / value	DSL Version	Required	Default Value	Description
type	"float", "double"	1	yes		Underlying primitive type.
defaultValue	floating point value, nan, inf, -inf	1	no	0.0	Default value. Must fit the underlying type.
endian	"big" or "little"	1	no	endian of schema	Endian of the field.
units	units	1	no		Units of the value.
validRange	"[ fp_value, fp_value ]"	1	no		Range of valid values.
validValue	floating point value, nan, inf, -inf	1	no		Valid value.
validMin	floating point value	1	no		Valid minimal value. All the numbers above it are considered to be valid.
validMax	floating point value	1	no		Valid maximal value. All the numbers below it are considered to be valid.
validFullRange	bool	1	no	false	Mark all the range of existing FP values to be valid, excluding nan, inf, and -inf.
validCheckVersion	bool	1	no	false	Take into account protocol version when generating code for field's value validity check.
displayDecimals	numeric	1	no	0	Indicates to GUI analysis how many digits need to be displayed after the fraction point.
nonUniqueSpecialsAllowed	bool	2	no	false	Allow non unique <special>-s.
displaySpecials	bool	2	no	true	Control displaying <special> values in analysis tools.
