Equipment Schema

Schema: equipment

This schema is the hardware vocabulary layer. It normalizes scanner/camera/restraint labels used by ingest and model tables.

What this schema answers

  • Which scanner or camera produced this data?

  • Which setup/constraint context was used at acquisition time?

  • Which hardware-specific processing branch should be selected?

Core ADAMACS tables

  • equipment.Equipment: scanner definitions.

  • equipment.Device: camera/device definitions.

  • equipment.SetupRestraint: setup condition labels.

Query anchors

  • scanner

  • camera

  • setup_restraint

(scan.Scan * equipment.Equipment)
(model.VideoRecording * equipment.Device)

Notes for users

  • Restrict hardware early if your analysis depends on specific optics/cameras.

  • Keep hardware labels controlled; avoid introducing ad-hoc names.
