-=== Parameter Structure ===
+=== Fixed Parameter Structure ===
+Fixed parameters can be specified by using any of the 'parameter' type structures. You must specify the type of parameter first, before listing the name, starting value, and state.
 {{{
 TYPE_parameter  NAME   VALUE  STATE
 }}}
+
+- **TYPE** : Type of RW parameter, (e.g. genie_parameter, neut_parameter, norm_parameter)
+- **NAME** : Name of RW parameter, can be any string given in the RW engine. In GENIE this list is given in $GENIE/src/ReWeight/GSyst.h. 
+
+For normalisation parameters the name of the dial corresponds to SAMPLENAME_norm. (e.g. 'MiniBooNE_CCQELike_XSec_1DQ2_nu_norm')
+
+- **VALUE** : Starting value for the dial. In general for RW engine parameters this is given in terms of 1-sigma variations away from the nominal, so that VALUE=0.0 is the nominal generator value. For everything else, like normalisation parameters, this value is in units of the true value.
+
+- **STATE** : State of the dial. This should always be left as FIX as this is the only support option for the time being.
+
+
+
+**Example 1** : Fixed GENIE RW 'MaCCQE' to +1 sigma
