Properties

Name	Type	Description
baseUnits	xsd:string	The base units in which the sensor reading is specified. If rateUnits is set the units of the current reading is further qualified by the rateUnits. See rateUnits
currentReading	xsd:long	The current reading of the element indicated by the sensor. The actual sensor reading is obtained by multiplying the current reading by the scale factor.
healthState*	ElementDescription	The health state of the of the element indicated by the sensor. This property is populated only for sensors that support threshold settings. See HostNumericSensorHealthState
name	xsd:string	The name of the physical element associated with the sensor
rateUnits*	xsd:string	The rate units in which the sensor reading is specified. For example if the baseUnits is Volts and the rateUnits is per second the value returned by the sensor are in Volts/second.
sensorType	xsd:string	The type of the sensor. If the sensor type is set to Other the sensor name can be used to further identify the type of sensor. The sensor units can also be used to further implicitly determine the type of the sensor. See HostNumericSensorType
unitModifier	xsd:int	The unit multiplier for the values returned by the sensor. All values returned by the sensor are current reading * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier.

Description

baseUnits

xsd:string

The base units in which the sensor reading is specified. If rateUnits is set the units of the current reading is further qualified by the rateUnits.
See rateUnits

currentReading

xsd:long

The current reading of the element indicated by the sensor. The actual sensor reading is obtained by multiplying the current reading by the scale factor.

healthState*

ElementDescription

The health state of the of the element indicated by the sensor. This property is populated only for sensors that support threshold settings.
See HostNumericSensorHealthState

name

xsd:string

The name of the physical element associated with the sensor

rateUnits*

xsd:string

The rate units in which the sensor reading is specified. For example if the baseUnits is Volts and the rateUnits is per second the value returned by the sensor are in Volts/second.

sensorType

xsd:string

The type of the sensor. If the sensor type is set to Other the sensor name can be used to further identify the type of sensor. The sensor units can also be used to further implicitly determine the type of the sensor.
See HostNumericSensorType

unitModifier

xsd:int

The unit multiplier for the values returned by the sensor. All values returned by the sensor are current reading * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier.
