Dear Alistair,
Thank you very much for your support for the OEIT project, and I am looking forward to the discussion at the upcoming conference.
Here are some comments regarding your question:
- The task force OEIT debated the subject of storing volt versus storing the raw value and an extensive gain model.
-> after those discussion majority was in favor of the later, thus allowing more user control on the data processing. But I must say that their is nothing in the format preventing someone from storing double value with gain 1...
- phase wrapping: If you have a mean to measure it, their is nothing in the format that prevents you to store phase larger than 2 pi.
- Contact impedance: They are stored has every other measurement.
- What kind of calibration data are you talking about, could you give examples?
- Isn't reciprocity calculated from the data? What is the point of storing the value separately?
What do you think?
see you,
Pascal
P.S. this week I am gone post some more examples of configuration files to illustrate my comments
