The values (e.g. "Data_field_1") should be set as the regular "Color
by" array. The uncertainties (e.g. "Data_field_2") should be set as
the uncertainty array for the representation. The uncertainties are
expected to be positive and on the same scale as the input data. The
higher the uncertainty value, the more "noisy" the surface will be
rendered.

For now, the representation only works with surface rendering.

Hope this helps,
