Promoted fields are used only where the published value maps cleanly to the locked schema; device-specific microwave, pulse, photoelectric, camera, and indicator data are preserved as parameter rows.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
