# Classes

## Documentation: `DTS.Common.DataModel/Classes/Enums.cs`

### 1. Purpose  
This module defines core enumerations used throughout the `DataPROWin7.DataModel` namespace to enforce type safety and semantic clarity for key configuration and interoperability concerns. Specifically, it standardizes:  
- **`IsoChannelSensorCompatibilityLevels`**: Controls warning/error behavior when validating compatibility between ISO channels and sensors (e.g., during data import/export).  
- **`SupportedExportFormats`**: Lists all export formats supported by the system, with `[Description]` attributes mapping enum values to user-facing format names (e.g., `"csv" → "CSV"`).  
- **`StrictLevel`**: Defines operational modes for data validation and checkout workflows, ranging from strict enforcement (`Strict`) to permissive or expedited modes (`QuickCheckout`).  
The module exists to centralize these constants, avoiding magic strings/numbers and ensuring consistent interpretation across the codebase.

### 2. Public Interface  

#### `IsoChannelSensorCompatibilityLevels`  
```csharp
public enum IsoChannelSensorCompatibilityLevels
{
    DontWarn,
    Warn,
    DontAllow
}
```  
- **Purpose**: Specifies the severity level for ISO channel-sensor compatibility mismatches.  
- **Values**:  
  - `DontWarn`: Mismatches are silently ignored.  
  - `Warn`: Mismatches trigger a warning (e.g., UI alert, log entry).  
  - `DontAllow`: Mismatches block the operation (e.g., import/export fails).  

#### `SupportedExportFormats`  
```csharp
public enum SupportedExportFormats
{
    [Description("CSV")] csv,
    [Description("Diadem")] diadem,
    [Description("ISO")] iso,
    [Description("SOMAT")] somat,
    [Description("TDAS")] tdas,
    [Description("TSV")] tsv,
    [Description("TTS")] tts,
    [Description("RDF")] rdf,
    [Description("TDMS")] tdms,
    [Description("DDAS")] ddas,
    [Description("HDF5")] hdf,
    [Description("XLSX")] xlsx,
    [Description("Chapter10")] chapter10, // DataPRO 3.3, IRIG 106 Chapter 10
    [Description("ASC")] asc
}
```  
- **Purpose**: Represents all export formats supported by the application.  
- **Behavior**:  
  - Each value has a `[Description]` attribute specifying its display name (e.g., `csv` → `"CSV"`).  
  - `chapter10` is explicitly annotated as supporting *IRIG 106 Chapter 10* (a telemetry data format standard).  
  - **Note**: `xlsx` uses `// ReSharper disable once InconsistentNaming` to suppress naming convention warnings (likely due to casing mismatch with PascalCase guidelines).  

#### `StrictLevel`  
```csharp
public enum StrictLevel
{
    Strict,
    UpdateTable,
    CheckoutOnly,
    QuickCheckout
}
```  
- **Purpose**: Configures the rigor of data validation and checkout operations.  
- **Values**:  
  - `Strict`: Full validation enforced; non-compliant data rejected.  
  - `UpdateTable`: Validation performed, but table schemas may be updated to accommodate data.  
  - `CheckoutOnly`: Validation skipped; only checkout (e.g., file locking, metadata update) occurs.  
  - `QuickCheckout`: Minimal validation; optimized for speed (e.g., bulk operations).  

---

### 3. Invariants  
- **`IsoChannelSensorCompatibilityLevels`**:  
  - Values must be used consistently in validation logic (e.g., `DontAllow` must prevent operations, not just log warnings).  
- **`SupportedExportFormats`**:  
  - The `[Description]` attribute value for each enum member is the canonical string representation used in UI/file dialogs.  
  - `chapter10` is reserved for IRIG 106 Chapter 10 exports (per inline comment).  
- **`StrictLevel`**:  
  - `Strict` is the most restrictive mode; `QuickCheckout` is the least.  
  - No two modes may have identical behavior in validation/checkout logic.  

---

### 4. Dependencies  
- **Depends on**:  
  - `System.ComponentModel` (for `[Description]` attribute).  
- **Depended upon**:  
  - Other modules in `DataPROWin7.DataModel` (inferred from namespace usage).  
  - Likely used by export pipelines (e.g., format selection), ISO data validation components, and checkout workflows.  
  - *Not directly referenced in source*, but usage is implied by the enum’s purpose and naming.  

---

### 5. Gotchas  
- **`xlsx` enum member**:  
  - Uses `// ReSharper disable once InconsistentNaming` to override PascalCase convention (likely due to legacy naming or external format specification requiring lowercase). This may cause confusion if developers expect consistent casing.  
- **`chapter10` naming**:  
  - The enum value `chapter10` (lowercase) maps to `"Chapter10"` (PascalCase) via `[Description]`. Developers must use `DescriptionAttribute` to retrieve the display name, not `ToString()`.  
- **Ambiguity in `StrictLevel` semantics**:  
  - The exact behavior differences between `UpdateTable`, `CheckoutOnly`, and `QuickCheckout` are *not specified in this file*. Implementation details (e.g., how `UpdateTable` modifies schemas) must be verified in dependent modules.  
- **No validation of enum usage**:  
  - The enums themselves contain no runtime validation. Invalid combinations (e.g., `DontAllow` with `QuickCheckout`) must be handled by calling code.  

*None identified beyond the above.*
