Functions

The GAM_FUNCTION table represents the highest classification of objects, and it is based on the overall function or purpose that they fulfil.

As an example, storage represents a function, and all dewars, cryostats, gas bladders and so on belong to this category, as they all fulfil the same general purpose.

Functions are further divided into classes, so between the GAM_FUNCTION and GAM_OBJECTCLASS tables there is a one to many relationship with total participation, each function has one or more classes.
