Proposal for New MME Header Field - Data Source Type

[Miguel A Gallego]

Dear colleagues,

As discussed in the meeting of today, I would like to propose adding a new field to the MME header to identify the data source type:

Type of data source: <Simulation | Hardware>

Rationale:

Euro NCAP is proposing a similar field in their data formats to distinguish between simulation-based tests and physical tests. Incorporating this into MME would:

Improve data traceability and interpretation
Align with evolving industry standards
Support mixed virtual/physical testing workflows

This would be a simple addition with broad applicability across all MME-based test data.

I welcome your feedback on this proposal.

Best regards,

Miguel Ángel Gallego
