System(s)
ValueFormulation
Indicates the method used by the sensor to produce its reading.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Measured - Indicates the value is measured directly by the sensor.
• 3 = Derived - Indicates the value is derived from other measured values that are not
reported discretely by this sensor.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

SupportedThresholds
SupportedThresholds property is an array that contains the list of the implemented
thresholds: LowerThresholdNonCritical, UpperThresholdNonCritical,
LowerThresholdCritical, UpperThresholdCritical. When the implementation does not
support any of these threshold properties, the CIM_NumericSensor.SupportedThresholds
property shall be an empty array.

SettableThresholds
SettableThresholds property is an array that contains the list of the settable implemented
thresholds: LowerThresholdNonCritical, UpperThresholdNonCritical. The
CIM_NumericSensor.SettableThresholds array shall contain the subset of values in the
CIM_NumericSensor.SupportedThresholds array. When the implementation does not
support any of the settable threshold properties, the
CIM_NumericSensor.SettableThresholds property shall be an empty array.

Property
Description
Caption
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When
used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this
class and its subclasses to be uniquely identied.
CurrentState
The current state indicated by the Sensor. This is always one of the PossibleStates.
DeviceID
An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to dene a user-
friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also dened as a user-
friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the
same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without
inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of
LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and
ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup conguration for the
Enabled State of an element.
