pycsamt.metadata.instrument.SensorSpec#

class pycsamt.metadata.instrument.SensorSpec(sensor_type='induction_coil', model='', frequency_range=None, notes='')[source]#

Bases: object

Specification for a single sensor (magnetic or electric).

Parameters:

  • sensor_type ({"induction_coil", "fluxgate", "electrode", "other"}) – Physical transducer principle.

  • model (str) – Manufacturer model string, e.g. "MTC-150H".

  • frequency_range (tuple[float, float] or None) – (f_min, f_max) in Hz that the sensor is rated for.

  • notes (str) – Free-text annotation (calibration file name, mounting details, etc.).

Examples

>>> s = SensorSpec("induction_coil", "MTC-150H", (1e-5, 1e4))
>>> s.covers(0.1)
True
>>> s.covers(1e6)
False
