h5rdmtoolbox.convention.standard_names.table.StandardNameTable

class h5rdmtoolbox.convention.standard_names.table.StandardNameTable(name, version, meta, standard_names=None, affixes=None, download_url=None)

Standard Name Table (SNT) class

Parameters

• name (str) – Name of the SNT

• version (str) – Version of the table. Must be something like v1.0

• meta (Dict) – Meta data of the table

• affixes (Dict) – Contains all entries in the YAML file, which is not meta. Currently expected:

  • table: Dict

    The table containing ‘units’ and ‘description’

  • alias: Dict

    Dictionary containing the aliases

  • devices: List[str]

    List of defined devices to be used in transformations like difference_of_<standard_name>_across_<Device>

  • locations: List[str]

    List of defined locations to be used in transformations like difference_of_<standard_name>_between_<location>_and_<location>

Notes

Call StandardNameTable.transformations to get a list of available transformations

Examples

>>> from h5rdmtoolbox.convention.standard_names.table import StandardNameTable
>>> table = StandardNameTable.from_yaml('standard_name_table.yaml')
>>> # check a standard name
>>> table.check('x_velocity')
>>> # check a transformed standard name
>>> table.check('derivative_of_x_velocity_wrt_to_x_coordinate')
