First Drop: Initial PCB-Based Process Monitoring Sample Recordings

Pilot dataset from a custom, Printed Circuit Board (PCB)-integrated experimental device used for miniature process monitoring. Includes synchronized telemetry from multiple laboratory instruments, connection mapping, quality-control annotations, and metadata. The run represents a multi-day process test using standard test materials and media.

Identifier Reference Design

  • Tags (e.g., sample_tag, protocol_tag, instrument_tag) are used for cross-referencing within the dataset.
  • UUIDs appear only in master definitions (e.g., sample table, YAML specs) to maintain a single source of truth.
  • Cross-reference tables (e.g., connection_map.csv, timeseries/*.csv) refer to tags, not UUIDs.

Data Conventions

  • Time is represented both as:
    • time_ns: integer epoch nanoseconds
    • time_utc_iso8601: ISO 8601 UTC string
  • Numeric values may be integers or floats; scientific notation uses the format 2.3e6 (not 2.3Γ—10^6).
  • Units are written in full (e.g., volt, ohm, farad) rather than abbreviations (V, Ξ©, F).
  • All files are UTF-8 encoded CSV unless otherwise noted.
  • value_state and severity fields use controlled vocabularies defined in datapackage.json.

Run Notes

  • Run duration reflects device activity only.
    Offline measurements (e.g., microscopy) may occur after run_end and are still included as events for completeness.
  • This dataset corresponds to run-0001, a pilot process monitoring experiment lasting approximately four days.
