This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is constant for a specified period and 0 otherwise, i.e.

<math> \lambda = f(t) = \begin{cases}

\text{cFactor}, &\text{tStart} <= t <= \text{tEnd}\\
\text{0.0}, &\text{otherwise}\\

\end{cases}

</math>


timeSeries Rectangular $tag $tStart $tEnd <-factor $cFactor>

$tag unique tag among TimeSeries objects.
$tStart starting time of non-zero load factor
$tEnd ending time of non-zero load factor
$cFactor the load factor applied (optional, default=1.0)
