SOLM12 — Parameter value query missing some attributes

... While doing this we think we’ve identified an omission in the mapping table.

If you look at the SOLM you’ll see this model for the Parameter. Note the highlighted aggregate object. If we go to the table for the mapping we see:

Parameter.value()
Parameter.raw()

Of course raw() doesn’t exist in the model, but there’s a description (note uncal doesn’t exist). But the but is there’s no mapping item to get the timestamp. However in the reference implementation in a section that should be normative there’s the report method that returns the time and the value (effectively a tuple that represents the InstantValue – see the 6.4.6 description).

In my book this should be a bug report to add a Parameter.report() that returns the InstantValue data as a tuple of value, timestamp. So can we report this as a bug?

Replace with sample() function

Replace SpacePython report() function with a new function sample() that returns a dictionary including the time, value, and raw values for a single sample. The change for this function is included in the work for issue #6.
