Sensor

Description

A sensor is an InstrumentComponent belonging to an Instrument. It models an OBS sensor and so is the generator of the signal being processed. Inheriting from InstrumentComponent, it has all its attributes plus the ones below.

Python class:

Sensor

YAML / JSON label:

sensor: Sensor usually has its own information file (best practice)

Corresponding StationXML structure

Channel.Sensor

Object Hierarchy

Superclass
