NameData TypeValue
Accuracysint32
DescriptionstringIndicates the accuracy of the Sensor for the measured property. Its value is recorded as plus/minus hundredths of a percent. Accuracy, along with Resolution, is used to calculate the actual value of the measured physical property. Accuracy may vary depending on whether the Device is linear over its dynamic range.

BaseUnitsuint16
DescriptionstringThe base unit of the values returned by this Sensor. All the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units obtained by (BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier). For example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the UnitModifier is -6, then the units of the values returned are MicroVolts. However, if the RateUnits property is set to a value other than "None", then the units are further qualified as rate units. In the above example, if RateUnits is set to "Per Second", then the values returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The units apply to all numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the Units qualifier.

DescriptionstringThe current value indicated by the Sensor.

Hysteresisuint32
DescriptionstringIndicates the margin built around the thresholds. This margin prevents unnecessary state changes when the Sensor reading may fluctuate very close to its thresholds. This could be due to the Sensor's tolerance/accuracy/resolution or due to environmental factors. Once a threshold is crossed, the state of the Sensor should change. However, the state should not fluctuate between the old and new states unless the Sensor's change in the reading exceeds the hysteresis value. The units for this measurement are determined by BaseUnit*UnitModifier/RateUnit.
IsLinearboolean
DescriptionstringIndicates that the Sensor is linear over its dynamic range.
LowerThresholdCriticalsint32
DescriptionstringThe Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under Normal, NonCritical, Critical or Fatal conditions. If the CurrentReading is between LowerThresholdCritical and Lower ThresholdFatal, then the CurrentState is Critical.

LowerThresholdFatalsint32
DescriptionstringThe Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under Normal, NonCritical, Critical or Fatal conditions. If the CurrentReading is below LowerThresholdFatal, then the Current State is Fatal.

LowerThresholdNonCriticalsint32
DescriptionstringThe Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under Normal, NonCritical, Critical or Fatal conditions. If Current Reading is between LowerThresholdNonCritical and Upper ThresholdNonCritical, then the Sensor is reporting a normal value. If CurrentReading is between LowerThresholdNonCritical and LowerThresholdCritical, then the CurrentState is NonCritical.

RateUnitsuint16
DescriptionstringSpecifies if the units returned by this Sensor are rate units. All the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units obtained by (BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier). This is true unless this property (RateUnits) has a value different than "None". For example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the UnitModifier is -6, then the units of the values returned are MicroVolts. But, if the RateUnits property is set to a value other than "None", then the units are further qualified as rate units. In the above example, if RateUnits is set to "Per Second", then the values returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The units apply to all numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the Units qualifier. Any implementation of CurrentReading should be qualified with either a Counter or a Gauge qualifier, depending on the characteristics of the sensor being modeled.

Tolerancesint32
DeprecatedstringCIM_NumericSensor.Resolution, CIM_NumericSensor.Accuracy
DescriptionstringThis property is being deprecated in lieu of using the Resolution and Accuracy properties. Indicates the tolerance of the Sensor for the measured property. Tolerance, along with Resolution and Accuracy, is used to calculate the actual value of the measured physical property. Tolerance may vary depending on whether the Device is linear over its dynamic range.
UnitModifiersint32
DescriptionstringThe unit multiplier for the values returned by this Sensor. All the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units obtained by (BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier). For example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the Unit Modifier is -6, then the units of the values returned are MicroVolts. However, if the RateUnits property is set to a value other than "None", then the units are further qualified as rate units. In the above example, if RateUnits is set to "Per Second", then the values returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The units apply to all numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the Units qualifier.

Method Qualifiers (RestoreDefaultThresholds)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringThis method resets the values of the thresholds to hardware defaults. This method returns 0 if successful, 1 if unsupported and any other value if an error occurred. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified, using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are 'translated' may also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.

Method Qualifiers (GetNonLinearFactors)

NameData TypeValue
DeprecatedstringNo value
DescriptionstringThe use of this method is being deprecated, since Current senor reading can be retrieved through the GetInstance operation. For a non-linear Sensor, the resolution, accuracy, tolerance and hysteresis vary as the current reading moves. This method can be used to get these factors for a given reading. It returns 0 if successful, 1 if unsupported, and any other value if an error occurred. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified, using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are 'translated' may also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.
