9. IoT-Enabled Field Acquisition

The pycsamt.iot subpackage implements the IoT layer that documents and audits IoT-enabled AMT, MT, CSAMT, and CSEM acquisition. It does not replace the normal impedance, quality-control, dimensionality, or inversion workflow. Instead, it records the operational layer around those data: devices, stations, packets, edge QC decisions, power, clock synchronisation, security configuration, and provenance. It also bridges back into the science API, turning edge impedance estimates into a pycsamt.z.z.Z and a preliminary EDI, and seeding a re-occupation session from an existing EDI survey.

Use this guide to configure and audit the operational layer of an IoT-enabled field survey: telemetry, edge QC, monitoring, power, synchronisation, security, and provenance.
