Reports

1. Purpose

The ChannelGRMSSummary class serves as a data model for representing summary statistics of a single channel in a GRMS (G-RMS, or root-mean-square acceleration) analysis report. It encapsulates the channel’s name, its sampling rate, and the computed GRMS value, while implementing INotifyPropertyChanged to support data binding in UI frameworks (e.g., WPF). This class enables consistent, observable reporting of GRMS metrics across the DTS Viewer application.

2. Public Interface

ChannelName (string, read-write property)
Gets or sets the human-readable name of the channel (e.g., "Ch1-Accel"). Used for identification in reports.
SampleRate (int, read-write property)
Gets or sets the sample rate (in Hz) used to acquire or process the channel data. Must be a non-negative integer (enforced by caller; not validated internally).
GRMS (double, read-write property)
Gets or sets the computed root-mean-square acceleration value (typically in g units) for the channel over a specified time interval.
PropertyChanged (event PropertyChangedEventHandler)
Event fired when a property value changes. Raised by OnPropertyChanged.
OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName) (void method)
Invokes the PropertyChanged event for the specified property name. Used to notify bound UI elements of updates.
Note: Does not validate that propertyName corresponds to an actual property; caller must ensure correctness.

3. Invariants

No internal validation: The class does not enforce constraints on SampleRate (e.g., positivity) or GRMS (e.g., non-negativity). Invalid values may be assigned silently.
Property names must match exactly: OnPropertyChanged relies on the caller passing the exact property name (e.g., "GRMS", not "grms" or "G rms"); mismatches will cause silent UI update failures.
Thread-safety: The class provides no explicit thread-safety guarantees. PropertyChanged invocation is not atomic and may throw if subscribers are removed mid-invocation (though ?. mitigates null reference exceptions).

4. Dependencies

Depends on:
- System.ComponentModel (for INotifyPropertyChanged via PropertyChangedEventHandler and PropertyChangedEventArgs)
- DTS.Common.Interface (for the IChannelGRMSSummary interface—implementation of which this class satisfies)
Implements:
- IChannelGRMSSummary (interface defined in DTS.Common.Interface; exact contract not visible in this file but assumed to declare ChannelName, SampleRate, GRMS, and PropertyChanged/OnPropertyChanged members)
Used by:
- Presumably UI components (e.g., WPF DataGrid, ListView) bound to GRMS summary reports.
- Report generation or data aggregation logic that populates/updates channel summaries (e.g., a class computing GRMS from time-series data).

5. Gotchas

No null-check on propertyName in OnPropertyChanged: Passing null will cause PropertyChanged?.Invoke(...) to throw a NullReferenceException (since new PropertyChangedEventArgs(null) is valid, but the event handler may not expect it).
No validation on numeric properties: SampleRate could be negative or zero; GRMS could be negative or NaN. Callers must ensure values are physically meaningful.
Interface implementation is implicit: The class does not explicitly declare IChannelGRMSSummary in its definition (e.g., : IChannelGRMSSummary), but the source comment implies it implements the interface. Verify the interface definition in DTS.Common.Interface for exact contract requirements (e.g., read-only vs. read-write properties).
No documentation of units: While GRMS is assumed to be in g, and SampleRate in Hz, the source provides no explicit unit annotations—rely on external documentation or conventions.

None identified beyond the above.
