  DX
  	DX <REAL>
  	Parameter used for computing the derivative with the Ridders method.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 1.00000000E-01
  	Default unit: [bohr]

  ERROR_LIMIT
  	ERROR_LIMIT <REAL>
  	Checks that the error in computing the derivative is not larger than the value set. In case prints a warning message.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 1.00000000E-12

  FUNCTION
  	FUNCTION X^2+Y^2+Z^2+LOG(ABS(X+Y))
  	Specifies the functional form in mathematical notation. Variables must be the atomic coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the grid.
  	This required keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one string.

  PARAMETERS
  	PARAMETERS A B D
  	Defines the parameters of the functional form
  	This required keyword can be repeated and it expects a list of words.

  STATIC
  	STATIC T
  	Specifies the external potential as STATIC or time dependent. At the moment only static potentials are implemented.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .TRUE.

  VALUES
  	VALUES
  	Defines the values of parameter of the functional form
  	This required keyword can be repeated and it expects a list of reals.
  	Default unit: [internal_cp2k]
