An enumeration of packet data plane types.
A Das2 packet contains one dependent value set from each of it's Planes. The plane types are:
X - Data defined within an <x> plane, typically these are time values. There is one value for each X plane in a Das2 data packet
Y - Data defined within a <y> plane, this would be line-plot data. There is one value for each Y plane in a Das2 data packet. This value is correlated with the <x> plane value in the packet.
Z - Data defined within a <z> plane. There is one value for each Z plane in a Das2 data packet. The Z value is correlated with both the <x> plane value and the <y> plane value.
YScan - Our most common data type, values are defined by a <yscan> plain tag. There are 1-N values in each YScan plane for each das2 data packet. All YScan values from a single data packet are correlated with the X value provide in the <x> plane.
