# Class CIM_DiscreteMetricDefinitionDependency
extends CIM_Dependency

Association between a BaseMetricDefinition instance representing an analog metric type, and any DiscreteMetricDefinition instances representing discrete metric types based upon this analog metric type. For a definition of the discrete metrics concept and how the existence of instances of this association class control the existence of the discrete metric values, refer to the description of DiscreteMetricDefinition.
