PossibleStates Enumerates the string outputs of
the sensor. For example, a
NumericSensor can report states
based on threshold readings.
string
CurrentState Indicates the current 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.
uint64
CIM_DiscreteSensor
The CIM_DiscreteSensor class described in Table below has a set of legal string values that it can report. The CIM_DiscreteSensor always
has a "current reading" that corresponds to one of the enumerated values.

PossibleValues Enumerates the string outputs
that can be reported by the

CIM_NumericSensor
The CIM_NumericSensor class described in NumericSensor Properties returns numeric settings and may also support threshold settings.
Figure below shows the relationship among upper and lower critical and upper and lower non-critical threshold values. The normal range
falls between upper and lower non-critical thresholds.
