+The **Metric Explicit** command creates a metric signal explicitly. This allows for the creation of a new signal without input or reference data, unlike other metric commands. Previous versions of Visual3D labeled this command Explicit_Metric.
-Previous versions of Visual3D labeled this command Explicit_Metric
+====Pipeline Command====
+The pipeline code for this command is as follows, it can be found in the **Pipeline Workshop** under **Metric**.
+<code>
+Metric_Explicit
+/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=
+! /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=
+/METRIC_VALUE=
+</code>
+====Command Parameters====
+The following table shows the command parameters seen above and their descriptions:
+|**RESULT_METRIC_NAME**|**The name of the result signal**|
+|**RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER**|**The name of the result signal folder**|
+|**METRIC_VALUE**|**Value of signal components**|
+====Dialog====
+The command can be edited in a text editor or in a dialog form. To edit in the dialog pop up form either click on the **Edit** button in the pipeline workshop or double-click on the pipeline command. The dialog is shown below.
+{{:Event_Explicit.jpg}}
+The dialog box allows you to assign values to the command parameters outlined above.

 This example will create a metric signal with 3 component values of 1, 2, 3. The resulting signal will be named **NEW_SIGNAL** and be located in the **OFFSET** folder.
