Extended tables (as opposed to simple tables, and parameter tables) can store data of mixed types (integers, floating-point numbers, strings, and STx names) in one or more columns, each column being also known as a field. Fields can be assigned names which can then be used to access the content of the respective field. Regardless of a field being assigned a name, it may always be accessed by its zero-based index, too.
