# Documentation: DTS.Common.Import.ImportOptions

## 1. Purpose

This module defines configuration option classes for the DTS import subsystem. It provides strongly-typed containers for import behavior settings, specifically for EQX-format imports and CSV-format imports. These classes serve as parameter objects that control how data is parsed, validated, and persisted during import operations.

---

## 2. Public Interface

### `EqxImportOptions`

A configuration class for EQX-format imports.

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `OverwriteExistingSensors` | `bool` | `true` | Controls whether existing sensors should be overwritten during import. |
| `ImportSensorModels` | `bool` | `true` | Controls whether sensor models should be imported. |

---

### `CsvImportOptions`

A configuration class for CSV-format imports.

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `Encoding` | `string` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the character encoding for parsing the CSV file. |
| `FieldSeparator` | `string` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the delimiter character(s) used to separate fields. |
| `ImportCulture` | `CultureInfo` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the culture settings for parsing culture-dependent values (e.g., number formats, dates). |
| `StripBackSlash` | `bool` | None (uninitialized) | Controls whether backslash characters should be removed during import. |

---

### `ZeroMethodOptions`

A configuration class for zero method settings (appears related to sensor calibration/offset handling).

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `ZeroMethodType` | `ZeroMethodType` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the type of zero method to apply. |
| `ZeroMethodStart` | `double` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the start value for the zero method range. |
| `ZeroMethodEnd` | `double` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the end value for the zero method range. |

---

## 3. Invariants

- **EqxImportOptions**: Both boolean properties (`OverwriteExistingSensors`, `ImportSensorModels`) are always initialized to `true` by default.
- **CsvImportOptions**: No default values are enforced by the class; properties may be `null` if not explicitly set.
- **ZeroMethodOptions**: No default values are enforced by the class; properties may be `null` or `0` (for value types) if not explicitly set.
- No validation logic is present in these classes; any constraints must be enforced by consumers.
