  DX
  	DX {Real}
  	Parameter used for computing the derivative with the Ridders method.
  	This 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 keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 1.00000000E-12

  FUNCTION
  	FUNCTION {String}
  	Specifies the functional form in mathematical notation. Variables must be the atomic coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the grid.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one string.

  PARAMETERS
  	PARAMETERS {Word} ...
  	Defines the parameters of the functional form
  	This keyword can be repeated and it expects a list of words.

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

  UNITS
  	UNITS {Word} ...
  	Optionally, allows to define valid CP2K unit strings for each parameter value. It is assumed that the corresponding parameter value is specified in this unit.
  	This keyword can be repeated and it expects a list of words.

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