# observation labx.height

Describes the entry `labx.height` at version `0.1.0`, registered by `mime_lab_fixture.Height`.

## At a glance

- observation `labx.height`, version `0.1.0`, namespace `labx`
- Nodes: [`HeightNode`](../../nodes/HeightNode.md)
- Undocumented, so with no equations to link: [`HeightNode`](../../nodes/HeightNode.md)
- Derivative: `exact`
- Validity: none declared

## What it models, and when not to use it

No hand-written part: this entry's source has not been written (the docs walk counts it).

## Settings

| Setting | Type | Default | Dimension | Role | Default's kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `body` | `Any` | `null` | none | none declared | none: required |
| `rate` | `Quantity \| None` | `null` | none | numerical | convention |
| `up` | `tuple[float, float, float]` | `[0.0, 0.0, 1.0]` | none | design | convention |

Each role and default's kind is the entry's `setting_roles` (`mime.registry.SettingRole`); a setting that declares none is required.

Each default is a claim (`mime.registry.DefaultKind`): a determined default is resolved in every profile, a convention taken in every profile, a numerical default taken in exploratory only and stamped pending. Their rules and bases:

- `rate` (convention): the setting's written default; an observation reads every base step unless the experiment chooses a slower rate
- `up` (convention): the setting's written default; a height is measured along +z unless given another direction

## Roles, reads and deliveries

## Nodes it builds

- [`HeightNode`](../../nodes/HeightNode.md)

Declared in `builds`; the node walk compares it with what a round-trip case builds.

## Gradient status

The derivative through this entry is `exact`, the derivative of what it computes.

## Outputs

What a run's result reads by name, with its units (`result[handle].<output>`). A per-step output is a series, with its time axis, when the run records it (`run(..., record=[handle.<output>])`); an output at the end is reduced by the graph and always there, over its window. A window holds the steps whose end lies after its start and not after its end.

| Output | When | Dimension | Unit | Shape | What it is | Reduced from |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `height` | per step | length (m) | `m` | `()` | the body's height along up, each step |  |
| `height_integral` | at the end | m s | `m s` | `()` | the height's integral over the run | `height` by the rule `integral`, over every step of the run |
