AmplitudeCategory = Enum(["point", "mean", "duration", "period", "integral", "other"])

Amplitude category. This attribute describes the way the waveform trace is evaluated to derive an amplitude value.

• "period"

• "integral"

• "other"

AmplitudeUnit = Enum(["m", "s", "m/s", "m/(s*s)", "m*s", "dimensionless", "other"])

Amplitude unit. Values are specified as combinations of SI base units. Allowed values are:
