Parameter Name	Units	Type	Default	Description

L	M	double	0.0	length

KICK	RAD	double	0.0	kick strength

TILT	RAD	double	0.0	rotation about longitudinal axis

B2	1∕M²	double	0.0	normalized sextupole strength (kick = KICK(1+B2y))

CALIBRATION		double	1	strength multiplier

EDGE_EFFECTS		short	0	include edge effects?

ORDER		short	0	matrix order

STEERING		short	1	use for steering?

SYNCH_RAD		short	0	include classical, single-particle synchrotron radiation?

ISR		short	0	include incoherent synchrotron radiation (quantum excitation)?

LERAD		double	0.0	if L=0, use this length for radiation computations

GROUP		string	NULL	Optionally used to assign an element to a group, with a user-defined name. Group names will appear in the parameter output file in the column ElementGroup
