Basic Events File (*.bas) [required]

Describes each of the basic events used in the fault tree equations. Three items are required: a shortname (no spaces, quotes or other special characters), the downtime, and a longname in quotes. All items are required, even if they consist only of empty quotes. The downtimes are not used by EFcalc but are for other programs that use the same *.bas file for other things.
