set to Other.

string

PossibleStates Enumerates the string

outputs of the sensor.

For example, a

NumericSensor can

report states based on

threshold readings.

state of the sensor. This

value is always one of

the Possible States.

string

PollingInterval Indicates the polling

interval, in nanoseconds,

that the sensor hardware

or instrumentation uses

to determine the current

state of the sensor.
