# TMATS Data Conversion Module Documentation

## 1. Purpose

This module implements the Data Conversion section of TMATS (Telemetry Attributes Transfer Standard) packets for IRIG Ch10 data serialization. It provides strongly-typed classes and enumerations for defining measurement metadata including conversion types, telemetry formats, calibration coefficients, measurand descriptions, alert/warning limits, and transducer information. Each section class maps enum-backed attributes to their TMATS-compliant string representations via `Description` attributes.

## 2. Public Interface

### `DataConversionSection` (class)
**Namespace:** `DTS.Serialization.IRIGCH10.Attributes`  
**Inherits:** `TMATSSection<DataConversionAttributes>`

| Member | Signature | Description |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
| Constructor | `DataConversionSection(int number)` | Initializes with `AttributeIdentifiers.DataConversionAttributes` and section number |
| `SetConversionType` | `void SetConversionType(ConversionTypes type)` | Sets the DCT attribute using the `Description` value of the provided `ConversionTypes` enum |

**Related Enums:**
- `DataConversionAttributes`: Contains `ConversionType` (Description: "DCT")
- `ConversionTypes`: `None`, `PairSets`, `Coefficients`, `CoefficientsNegative`, `Derived`, `Discrete`, `PCMTime`, `Time1553`, `DigitalVoice`, `DigitalVideo`, `SpecializedProcessing`, `Other`

| Constructor | `TelemetrySection(int number)` | Initializes with `AttributeIdentifiers.DataConversionAttributes` and section number |
| `SetBinaryFormat` | `void SetBinaryFormat(BinaryFormats format)` | Sets the BFM attribute using the `Description` value of the provided `BinaryFormats` enum |

**Related Enums:**
