 Type: Integer, Input
 Default Value: 1
 Description: Controlled variable error model type
              1=linear error from trajectory with deadband
              2=squared error from trajectory
              3=derivative form of linear error

CV_TYPE is a selection of the type of objective function to be used for variables defines as controlled variables (CVs) in control (IMODE=6 or 9) applications. The options are to use a linear penalty from a dead-band trajectory (CV_TYPE=1), squared error from a reference trajectory (CV_TYPE=2), or an experimental reference trajectory type (CV_TYPE=3).
