Type: Feature
Priority: Medium
Epic: Enhanced Resolution & Range Support

Description

Add comprehensive validation for resolution and voltage range configurations to prevent invalid configurations and provide helpful error messages.

Acceptance Criteria

• Validate resolution values are powers of 2 (or reasonable ADC resolutions)
• Validate voltage ranges are physically reasonable
• Add bounds checking for calibration coefficients
• Provide informative error messages for invalid configurations
• Log warnings for unusual but valid configurations
• Unit tests for all validation scenarios

Validation Rules

• Resolution: 8-bit to 24-bit (256 to 16,777,216)
• Voltage ranges: ±50V maximum, minimum 100mV span
• Calibration coefficients: reasonable bounds (0.1x to 10x scale factors)

Files to Modify

• Daqifi.Desktop/Channel/AnalogChannel.cs (validation methods)
• Daqifi.Desktop/Device/AbstractStreamingDevice.cs (device validation)

Value

Prevents configuration errors and provides clear feedback when device capabilities are outside expected parameters

Testing Requirements

• Test valid resolution and range configurations
• Test invalid configurations produce appropriate errors
• Test boundary conditions
• Verify error messages are user-friendly

Dependencies

• Can be done in parallel with other resolution/range work
