        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the repository key. 
        data
            A sequence of pairs of Floats specifying time/frequency and amplitude pairs. Possible 
            values for time/frequency are positive numbers. 
        timeSpan
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the time span of the amplitude. Possible values are STEP 
            and TOTAL. The default value is STEP.
